Away with my fears! The Redeemer appears

Verse 1
Away with my fears!
The Redeemer appears
Offer’d up in my stead,
And for every offender inclining his head;
He answer’d for me,
When he bled on the tree,
And my punishment took,
By his Father aggriev’d, by his Father forsook.

Verse 2
’Tis finish’d he cries,
Our Deliverer dies,
The atonement is made,
The ransom laid down, and the penalty paid.
The all-conquering tomb
Is by Jesus o’ercome,
The terrible king
Is disarm’d of his dart, and despoil’d of his sting.

Verse 3
Triumphant I am
Thro’ the death of the Lamb,
And redeem’d by his blood,
I have nothing to fear from a pacified God,
The favour divine,
The image is mine,
When his Son I receive,
And united to him I eternally live.
