HYMN 197. Things done for us.
1 Some things for us, Lord, must be done By thy Almighty Hand; It must be Jesus Christ alone Who in our stead did stand;
1 SOme things for us, Lord, must be done By thy Almighty Hand; It must be Jesus Christ alone Who in our stead did stand;
2 Who bore thy heavy wrath, O Lord, For us upon the Tree; And paid the Debts which Sinners owe To thy dread Majesty.
3 All praise and glory let us sing To God the Lord most high, Who did to us Salvation bring From Hell and Misery.
4 The Just for the Unjust did bear The punishment of sin, That we of righteousness might share, Who so defiled have been.
