My Substitute returning not

C103 E8103
1
My Substitute returning not,
How could my worries be restrained?
Have my great sins such trouble brought?
Has He not saved, but been detained?
2
Were my transgressions, sins, too great?
My sins too many to forgive?
Was His dear blood inadequate,
Too limited to clearance give?
3
Rejoice! For Jesus rose again!
Unharmed! His glory was increased!
His passage through the dark domain
Could not affect Him in the least!
4
Christ’s resurrection surely shows
God’s righteousness is satisfied!
What mercy God’s great love bestows!
Redeeming work has been applied!
5
When Christ His own blood shed for me,
God raised Him, showing His accord!
Affirming Christ’s work righteously!
I’m cleansed! Forgiven! Praise the Lord!
