The Law and Gospel. Gal. 3. 10; Luke 23. 34; 1 Cor. 1. 18

1 [Cursed be the man, for ever cursed,
  That does one wilful sin commit;
  Death and damnation for the first,
  Without relief and infinite.

2 Thus Sinai roars, and round the earth
  Thunder, and fire, and vengeance flings;
  But Jesus, thy dear gasping breath
  And Calvary, say gentler things:

3 “Pardon and grace, and boundless love,
  Streaming along a Saviour’s blood;
  And life, and joy, and crowns above,
  Obtained by a dear bleeding God.”

4 Hark! how he prays, (the charming sound
  Dwells on his dying lips,) “Forgive!”
  And every groan and gaping wound
  Cries, “Father, let the rebels live!”]

5 Go, ye that rest upon the law,
  And toil and seek salvation there,
  Look to the flame that Moses saw,
  And shrink, and tremble, and despair.

6 But I’ll retire beneath the cross;
  Saviour, at thy dear feet I’ll lie!
  And the keen sword that justice draws,
  Flaming and red, shall pass me by.
