61A. What, sinner, canst thou do?

1 What, sinner, canst thou do?
Where, sinner, canst Thou fly?
Eternal wrath hangs o'er thy head,
And judgment lingers nigh.

2 For God must visit sin
With His displeasure sore;
Since He is holy, just, and true,
And righteous evermore.

3 So Jesus died for sin--
Upon the cross He died;
God's righteousness was there displayed,
And Justice satisfied.

4 Faith is the way of life;
Believe in Christ and live;
Fly to the shelter of His blood,
And peace with God receive.
