Church Hymn Book ‎#CCLXVIII

CCLXVIII. Had not the blessed Son of God

1 Had not the blessed Son of God,
Who condescended thus:
To come on earth and shed his blood,
Who could have saved us!

2 No sacrifice could e'er by made,
That could atone for sin;
None but the blood the Saviour shed,
Could make our conscience clean.

3 We never could have been restor'd,
Into a state of bliss:
Had it not been that Christ our Lord,
Became our righteousness.

4 In this sad state we must have lain,
To all eternity,
Had we not been reclaim'd again,
By Christ who set us free.
