Privileges

How great are my privilages in Christ?

Without Him I stand afar off, a stranger, an outcast;
with Him I draw near and touch His kindly sceptre.
...

Without Him all is wrath and consuming fire;
with Him all is love, and the repose of soul.

Without Him is gaping hell below me;
with Him its gates are barred to me by His precious blood.
...

Without Him all things external call for my condemnation;
with Him they minister to my confort and are to be enjoyed with thanksgiving.
