"Surety"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

Hebrews 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

"Surety"

1. Sweet truth, Christ gave Himself for me,
To bear my load of guilt;
All I can want in Him I see,
Who says, "ask what thou wilt."

2. He gave Himself, then I may take
His person as my own;
His cov'nant He will never break,
But take me to His throne.

3. He gave Himself, and took my sins,
O! blest exchange for me;
My heav'n in this blest truth begins,
And I shall glory see.
