Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 ‎#71

71. He Took My Place

1 A trembling soul, I sought the Lord,
My sin confessed, my guilt deplored;
How soft and sweet, his word to me,
“I took thy place, and died for thee.”

Refrain:
No other hope, no other plea;
He took my place, and died for me;
O precious Lamb of Calvary!
He took my place, and died for me.

2 Here rests my heart; assurance sweet,
His blessed work will be complete,
Since in his love, so great and free,
He took my place, and died for me. [Refrain]

3 When sorrow veils the smiling day,
When evil foes beset my way,
Abundant grace in him I see,
He took my place, and died for me. [Refrain]

4 No room for doubt, no room for fears,
When to my view the cross appears,
My joyful song shall ever be,
He took my place, and died for me. [Refrain]
