Christ our Substitute and Head
God’s wisdom formed the vast design
To ransom us when lost;
And Christ’s own blood and righteousness
Provided all the costs.
Strict justice with approving look,
God’s covenant was sealed;
When God incarnate undertook
To see the whole fulfilled.
Now sin appears deserving death
And would its curse impose;
But Christ our Substitute and Head
Has lived and died and rose.
Upon the merits of His blood,
Secure and saved by grace;
We dare approach the throne of God
In Christ who took our place.
Hymn:
“O For A Thousand Tongues”
