Hymns on God's Everlasting Love, 15

Father, if I have sinn'd, with Thee
An Advocate I have:
Jesus, the Just, shall plead for me;
The sinner Christ shall save.

Pardon and peace in Him I find:
But not for me alone
The Lamb was slain; for all mankind
His blood did once atone.

My soul is on Thy promise cast,
And lo! I claim my part:
The universal pardon's past;
O seal it on my heart.

Thou canst not now Thy grace deny;
Thou canst not but forgive;
Lord, if Thy justice asks me why —
In Jesus I believe!
