2 Corinthians 5:21: He hath made Him to be sin for us, that, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

The Father from His bosom gave
His Partner, whole mankind to save,
The soul of His dear sinless Son.
A sacrifice for sin He made,
That in His righteousness array'd
We all might boldly come to the eternal throne.

Join'd to our Head in Christ we are,
His pure, unsinning nature share,
And glorious through His glory shine.
Changed into Him, our souls adore,
Distinguishable now no more,
One spirit with the Lord, our Righteousness Divine.
