From whence this fear and unbelief?
Hath not the Father put to grief
His spotless Son for me?
And will the
righteous Judge of men,
Condemn me for that debt of sin,
Which, Lord,
was charged on Thee?
Complete atonement Thou hast made,
And
to the utmost farthing paid
Whate'er Thy people owed:
Nor can His wrath
on me take place, If sheltered in Thy righteousness,
And sprinkled with
Thy blood.
If Thou hast my discharge procured,
And
freely in my room endured
The whole of wrath divine:
Payment God cannot
twice demand, First at my wounded Surety's hand,
And then again at mine.
Turn then, My soul, unto thy rest;
The merits of thy great
High Priest Have bought thy liberty:
Trust in His effective blood,
Nor fear thy banishment from God,
Since Jesus died for thee.
Augustus M. Toplady, 1772 (altered) No. 404 in Our Own Hymnbook

Hebrews
10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of
Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come
unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
