We offer his blood to pay the
debt by Henry Law Lord God Almighty, Father of mercies, screened from
all evil by your gracious providence, we come to encircle you with
grateful praise. We bless you that at every moment
the throne of grace has been opened and that the scepter of
your love has been extended to us. pardon us that our prayers
have been so few, so poor, so feeble. While you are always
ready to hear and inviting us to close communion, our souls
abide amid trifles and dally with vain follies. We grovel
on earth when we might ascend through prayer to heaven and
you. Pity us, good Lord. You know
of what we are made. You remember that we are dust. O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us. We come, not in our own name,
seeking your compassionate grace. We bring the name of your dear
Son before you, in the arms of our faith. In whatever we have
robbed you of obedience, we offer His blood to pay the debt. impute to our account His worthiness
for our unworthiness, His sinlessness for our sinfulness, His purity
for our impurity, His sincerity for our deceit, His truth for
our lies, His meekness for our pride, His steadfastness for
our backslidings, His love for our enmity, His fullness for
our emptiness, His glory for our shame, His perfect obedience
for our incessant disobedience, His beauty for our deformity,
His devoteness to your will for our waywardness, His holy life
for our unholy ways, His perfect righteousness for our manifold
unrighteousness, We hide ourselves in Him. We flee unto Him as our sure
city of refuge. We know that in Him we have redemption
through His blood, even the forgiveness of all our sins. We rejoice that
there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Thus
we cry, Abba, Father, in the name of Jesus, and retire to
rest in peace.
