Our sins are all forgiven;
To bear about this pledge below,
This special grant of heaven!
2 To look on this when sunk in fears,
While each repeated sight,
Like some reviving cordial, cheers,
And makes temptations light!
3 O what is honour, wealth, or mirth,
To this well-grounded peace?
How poor are all the goods of earth,
To such a gift as this!
4 This is a treasure rich indeed,
Which none but Christ can give;
Of this the best of men have need;
This I, the worst, receive. Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: Matthew 9:2 Languages: English
