Very well done. This song tells the lost sinner what they need to know to get their sins forgiven and to have eternal life through the Savior. "On the bloody tree behold Him. Sinner will not this suffice?" Jesus shed His innocent blood for our sins. That is what the main focus of the Bible is all about. He is the perfect, sinless Son of God. He lived a perfect and sinless life. He died in our place to pay for our sins. The line @ 3:16 tells the sinner how to trust in Jesus and nothing else and He will save you and forgive you. Trust nothing but Him and He will save you for eternity.
At 1:56 the song reads, “you may never enter in”. That is disappointing. They changed the song from “you will never come at all”. Here you will find a theological difference that negatively affects the song. “You will never come at all” is more accurate theologically because we can not wait until we are better due to the fact that it is Jesus that makes us better! The song includes the urgency of the gospel call. This version takes that urgency away.
There are two readings though: 1. "You may…" as in it may never come to pass. In that reading, the criticism is valid. However, 2. "You may never…" as in you will never be granted entry on your own merits. It is an older turn of phrase. "Leave Eden. Thou may never cometh in the Garden again, on pain of death." "You may never" used to mean "you never may"…"may I" permission will never be allowed. With that reading, the change sustains the intent of the original wording.
Maybe the word "charms" didn't have the occult implications in 1759 that it does today. We changed that last line to, "There is shelter from all harm." (Pardon us Mr. Hart)
Thank you for making this available! Such a powerful piece of music!

Best version of this song, by far!

I noticed that too, and you are right.
Absolutely Right.

Take a look at the grammar. It’s a verb, not a noun in this case. No occult implications.
Lol what?
