Acceptable Atonement

Tune: St Hilda

(\'O happy band of pilgrims\')

*********

Now the day of salvation

Is here for each nation

Now is time acceptable

To come to Jesus all

 

To take Him as your Saviour

He has made the way sure

For you to come unto God

This earthly path He trod

 

Did live, died, and rose again

Himself and offering them

When He upon the cross gave

His life, us all to save

 

This was the atonement made

That we not need afraid

Be to approach to God now

Christ has made way, \'tis how

 

How God is now satisfied

He has not us denied

His justice shown to be right

We welcomed in His sight

 

Welcomed, for Christ our place takes

Gave His life for our sakes

Paid price for our sins so we

May now forgiven be

 

No other hope or person

We have, but Christ the one

For our salvation, for all

Who believe, on Him call
