O GOD TO KNOW THAT THOU ART JUST

O God, to know that Thou art just
Gives hope and peace within;
We could not in a mercy trust
Which takes no count of sin.


Well did I know the tender Heart
I outraged by my sin,
Yet with the world I would not part,
Nor reign my passions in.


My fault it was, O Lord, most high,
And not my fate alone:
Thou canst not suffer sin, nor I
In any way atone.


Yet there’s a plea that I may trust—
Christ died that I might live!
Cleanse me, my God, for Thou art just;
Be faithful, and forgive.

Arthur James Mason  1851 - 1928 ( 76 Years )
