My Substitute returning not

My Substitute returning not

How could my worries be restrained?

Have my great sins such trouble brought?

Has He not saved

but been detained?

Were my transgressions

sins

too great?

My sins too many to forgive?

Was His dear blood inadequate

Too limited to clearance give?

Rejoice! For Jesus rose again!

Unharmed! His glory was increased!

His passage through the dark domain

Could not affect Him in the least!

Christ’s resurrection surely shows

God’s righteousness is satisfied!

What mercy God’s great love bestows!

Redeeming work has been applied!

When Christ His own blood shed for me

God raised Him

showing His accord!

Affirming Christ’s work righteously!

I’m cleansed! Forgiven! Praise the Lord!
