HYMN 19.

The Second Part, set after the Sacrament. 1 But thou wast able to sustain That heavy weight of sin; And for our Souls didst life obtain, And righteousness bring in. 2 'Twas from the worth and dignity Which in thy Person lay, Thou didst God's justice satisfy, And all our debts defray. 3 Thou being God as well as Man, Thy Merits have such worth, a compensation full to make, And liberty bring forth, 4 For us who did in Prison lye, Being bound with cruel bonds, Which none could loose assuredly, But thy own blessed hands. 5 By that one single payment, Lord, Laid down when thou didst die, Relief to us thou dost afford, Who dead in sin did lye. 6 For as poor Debtors we were all, So Criminals were too; And death deserved great and small, Condemned in law also. ⟨p. 41⟩And thou as Surety for us, Gavest up thy self to die; And in our stead, Lord, thou didst thus God's justice satisfy.
