('Oft in danger, oft in woe')
********
I shall bring a song to you
Something old or something new
You who gave yourself for me
Offering, sacrifice I see
For in you Lord, we set free
Laws of Moses ne'er could be
Enough to redeem our soul
You come to us, make us whole
But for olden days suffice
Animals paid the sin price
Substitutes, for humans stood
Permanent atone, ne'er could
'Til the New Covenant came
Things then remained ne'er the same
Christ did come the way to make
Lay His life down for our sake
That we forgiven, restored
In repenting are assured
That our sins taken away
By Him, so dawns our bright day
For none can themselves here save
But Christ the way He did pave
For mankind, salvation brings
And now joyful praises ring
Life eternal granted sure
Peace with God for evermore
Lord I trust with all my heart
Spirit fill me, every part
