Once a stranger to grace and to God, I knew not my danger and felt not my load. Though friends spoke in rapture of Christ on the tree, Jehovah Tsidkenu was nothing to me. When free grace awoke me by light from on high, then legal fears shook me and I trembled to die. No refuge, no safety in self could I see. Jehovah Tsidkenu, my saviour must be. My terrors all vanished before the sweet name. My guilty fears vanished. With boldness I came, to drink at the fountain, life giving and free. Jehovah Tsidkenu is all things to me.
