Wherewith shall I come before the Lord
And bow myself before his holy throne?
To give to him that which he does not own
I cannot, nor could I such things afford.
Yet, could he ask that I should take a sword
And slay my son for sins that I have sown?
Oh no! for just such love for me was shown
When his Son's blood o'er all my sins was poured.
When Jesus in my stead on Calvary stood,
He gave, that I might dwell with him above,
The righteousness in which I now am shod.
And he has shown to me that which is good:
Do justly, and at all times mercy love,
And humbly walk with him who is my God.
