"Unless the LORD had been my Help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence… Thy comforts delight my soul… The LORD is my Defense" (Psalm 94:17,19,22). "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get Me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. Thou art all fair, My love; there is no spot in thee" (Song of Solomon 4:6,7). "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee… Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy Word is truth" (John 17:11,17).
Unless the Lord
had rescued me,
My soul forever
would be lost.
My Savior went
to Calvary
To pay my
ransom's awful cost.
My Lord ascended up that mountain
Of bitter myrrh
in my defense.
His cross became
God's cleansing fountain,
An offering of sweet
frankincense.
His blood has cleansed
each sinful spot;
He cannot find a
single one!
What great
salvation Christ has wrought
For sinners
hopelessly undone!
Let Calvary's
mountain full of myrrh,
O Lord, where
You were crucified,
Now sanctify my
heart You stir
To live for You,
who for me died.
