"Power belongeth unto God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy" (Psalm 62:11,12). "Fury is not in Me: who would set the briers and thorns against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. Or let him take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me" (Isaiah 27:4,5). "Yet show I unto you a more excellent way" (1 Corinthians 12:31).
To
God belongs such awesome power!
How
foolishly do souls contend
And
yet resist Him to this hour,
Rejecting
mercy He would send.
To
God belongs such wondrous love!
How
rightly does the sinner run
To
Christ who came down from above
To
rescue souls that were undone!
Now
sinners racing in a hurry
To
their eternal condemnation,
May
meet the Lord, not in His fury,
But
in the peace of His salvation!
How
excellent is this Your way,
O
Lord, which bids our fears to cease!
Though
we like sheep have gone astray,
We
find in You our perfect peace!
You
bore for us the punishment
To
give us, Lord, another choice:
To
grant us peace, Lord, You were sent,
And
in Your mercy, we rejoice!
We
worship You, O Christ our Savior,
As
we consider more and more
The
awful price for peace and favor:
The
punishment for us Your bore.
