Dead to Sin by the Cross of Christ

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 47

Verse 1

Shall we go on to sin, Because thy grace abounds? Or crucify the Lord again, And open all his wounds?

Verse 2

Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e’er be said That we, whose sins are crucified, Should raise them from the dead.

We will be slaves no more, Since Christ has made us free; Has nailed our tyrants to his cross, And brought us liberty.
