Romans 5.1 — by H. Bonar

I thought upon my sins, and I was sad,
My soul was troubled sore, and filled with pain:
But then I thought on Jesus, and was glad,
My heavy grief was turned to joy again.
I thought upon the law, the fiery law,
Holy, and just, and good in its decree;
I looked to Jesus, and in Him I saw
That law fulfilled, its curse endured for me.
I thought I saw an angry, frowning God,
Sitting as Judge upon the great white throne;
My soul was overwhelm’d, — then Jesus show’d
His gracious face, and all my dread was gone.
I saw my sad estate, condemned to die;
Then terror seized my heart, and dark despair;
But when to Calvary I turned my eye,
I saw the cross, and read forgiveness there.
I saw that I was lost, far gone astray,
No hope of safe return there seemed to be;
But then I heard that Jesus was the way,
A new and living way prepar’d for me.
Then in that way, so free, so safe, so sure,
Sprinkled all o’er with reconciling blood,
Will I abide, and never wander more,
Walking along in fellowship with God
