Himself He Could Not Save By A. Midlane (1825-1909) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8. Himself He could not save, He on the cross must die, Or mercy could not come To ruined sinners nigh; Yes, Jesus' precious blood must flow, That sinners might forgiveness know. Himself He could not save, For justice must be done; Our sins' full weight must fall Upon the sinless One; For nothing less could God accept In payment of that fearful debt. Himself He could not save, For He the Surety stood For all who now rely Upon His precious blood; He bore sin's penalty so dread, When on the cross His blood He shed. Himself He could not save, Love's stream too deeply flowed; In love Himself He gave, To pay the debt we owed. Obedience to His Father's will And love to Him did all fulfil. And now exalted high, A Prince and Savior He, That sinners might draw nigh And drink of mercy free, Of mercy now so richly shed, For Jesus liveth who was dead.
