Just and Justifier

"O send out Thy light and thy truth: let them lead me… unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy" (Psalm 43:3,4).  "The curse causeless shall not come" (Proverbs 26:2).  "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God hath set forth to be a Propitiation through faith in His blood… To declare… at this time His righteousness: that He might be Just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus" (Romans 3:23-26). 

The light and the truth of our Lord

Have led to the altar of God. 

The judgment of God by His sword

Was satisfied there by His rod. 

It is to the cross we are led 

Where holy demands of God's laws

Were borne by our Lord in our stead

To render our curse without cause!   

Praise God for His justification

That sinners may freely receive

From Jesus, who purchased salvation

For all who in Him will believe!  

Lord Jesus, You had to be Just,

Yet You were compelled by desire

To die and to save all who trust

In You as their soul's Justifier!
