Speak gladness to this heart;
They tell me all is done,
They bid my fear depart.
Refrain:
To whom, save Thee,
Who canst alone
For sin atone,
Lord, shall I flee?
2 Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ,
Can heal my bruised soul;
Thy stripes, not mine, contain
The balm that makes me whole. [Refrain]
3 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the crushing load
Of sins that none could bear
But the incarnate God. [Refrain]
4 Thy death, not mine, O Christ,
Has paid the ransom due;
Ten thousand deaths like mine
Would have been all too few. [Refrain]
5 Thy righteousness, O Christ,
Alone can cover me;
No righteousness avails
Save that which is of Thee. [Refrain]
