A Hymn Upon Romans 5:6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
A HYMN UPON
ROMANS 5:6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
6. WHEN we were destitute of strength, Ourselves to help or save, Christ for ungodliness, at length, His life a ransom gave.
7. For one that's righteous, we would grudge To lay our life at stake; And for a good man, it were much Such an exchange to make.
8. But God his matchless love commends In that Christ Jesus dies For us, when we were not his friends, But wretched enemies.
9. Much more, being justified, and free Thro' his own blood, from sin; From wrath to come we sav'd shall be, Ev'n by the life of him.
10. For if, when enemies, for us Christ's death did end the strife; Much more, when reconciled thus, He'll save us by his life.
11. Yea, more than so, we triumph now In God with one accord, Having receiv'd atonement through Christ Jesus our own Lord.
Wherefore to him, who is the first Begotten of the dead, Who over earthly princes must Be supreme Lord and Head:
Ev'n unto him who lov'd us so, To wash us in his blood, And make us kings and priests unto His Father and his God:
To him dominion therefore, By us be given, when
This present world shall be no more; To which we say, AMEN.
