Lord, I believe, and stand secure

Lord, I believe, and stand secure
In all I speak, and do, and feel;
My conscience finds an answer sure
To every charge of earth, or hell:
Nigh to the Judge I boldly draw;
My Surety all his anger bore,
My Lord fulfill’d the fiery law,
And God the just can ask no more.
