3 Thou being God as well as Man, Thy Merits have such worth, As 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.
6 For as poor Debtors we were all, So Criminals were too; And death deserved great and small, Condemn'd in law also.
