So Great A Salvation
"Nothing to pay? No, not a whit.
Nothing to give? No, not a bit.
All that was needed to give or to pay,
Jesus hath done in God's own blessed way.
"Nothing to settle? All has been paid.
Nothing to anger? Peace has been made.
Jesus alone is the sinner's resource,
Peace he has made by the blood of his cross.
"What about terror? It hasn't a place
In a heart that is filled with a sense of his grace.
My peace is most sweet and it never can cloy,
And that makes my heart bubble over with joy.
"Nothing of guilt? No, not a stain,
How could the blood even one let remain?
My conscience is purged and my spirit is free,
Precious that blood is to God and to me.
"What of my future? 'Tis glorious and fair.
Since justified, sanctified, glory I'll share.
By his blood first redeemed,
by his grace then enthroned,
Side by side with my Lord,
as his Bride I'll be owned.
"What then, dost thou ask? O, glory shall follow,
Earth shall rejoice in the dawn of the morrow.
To rule and to bless comes that kingdom and reign;
Flee then, shall sorrow, death, crying and pain."
