1 Lord, thou wast the offended One, Whom we had grieved sore; Thou chose Christ to this work alone, And cancell'd the old score.
2 In him thy Soul well pleased is, Who did thy wrath appease; 'Tis he who reconciles us too, And does our burdens ease.
2 In him thy Soul well pleased is, Who did thy wrath appease; 'Tis he who reconciles us too, And does our barthens ease.

4 But if the terms refused are, There will be no Appeal Allowed such at the last day, They must thy vengeance feel.
