Behold, none can lay anything to the charge of your people, seeing all was laid on him, upon whom the transgression of your people was laid of old, by your own hand; and now, washed in his precious blood, and clothed in his matchless righteousness, we know that despite our faults, we stand accepted in the Beloved; for which again we bless you.
Deep down in our hearts shall the song begin, in humiliation of spirit because of our offences, but it shall rise to the very heights of heaven, while with exultation we behold how we are “raised up together and made to sit in the heavenly places,” and are presented in Christ Jesus “without spot or wrinkle or any such thing.”
