A trem­bling soul, I sought the Lord,
My sin con­fessed, my guilt de­plored;
How soft and sweet, His word to me,
I took thy place, and died for thee.

Refrain

No oth­er hope, no oth­er plea;
He took my place, and died for me;
O pre­cious Lord, of Cal­va­ry!
He took my place and died for me.

Here rests my heart; as­sur­ance sweet,
His bless­èd work He will com­plete,
Since in His love, so great and free,
He took my place, and died for me.

Refrain

When sor­row veils the smil­ing day,
When ev­il foes be­set my way,
Abundant grace in Him I see,
He took my place, and died for me.

Refrain

No room for doubt, no room for fears,
When to my view the cross ap­pears,
My joy­ful song shall ev­er be,
He took my place, and died for me.
