No condemnation, O my soul

Representative Text

1. No condemnation! O my soul,
'Tis God who speaks the word;
Perfect in loveliness are we
In Christ, our glorious Lord.

2. In Heav'n his blood forever speaks
In God the Father's ear;
His Church, the jewels, on his heart
Jesus will ever bear.

3. No condemnation! precious word!
Consider it, my soul;
My sins were all on Jesus laid;
His stripes have made me whole.

4. Teach us, O God, to fix our eyes
On Christ, the spotless Lamb,
So shall we love his gracious will,
And glorify his name.
