And you rightly note that it sounds a note that is often missing today. The righteousness and utter holiness of God cuts us off from Him and dooms us forever. Only by His wonderful grace has provision been made for our salvation.<br><br>Today is the 167th anniversary of McCheyne's death.

Excellent post. The poem you quote has actually been adapted to a hymn that I love to sing. It is to the tune, “My Jesus, I love Thee”, and it's broken up like this:

I once was a stranger
To grace and to God,
I knew not my danger
And felt not my load;
Though friends spoke in rapture
O Christ on the tree,
Jehovah Tsidkenu
Was nothing to me.

Like tears from the daughters
Of Zion that roll,
I wept when the waters
Went over His soul;
Yet thought not that my sins
Had nailed to the tree
Jehovah Tsidkenu…
'Twas nothing to me.

When free grace awoke me
By light from on high,
Then legal fears shook me,
I trembled to die;
No refuge, no safety,
In self could I see,
Jehovah Tsidkenu
My Saviour must be!

My terrors all vanished
Before the sweet name.
My guilty fears banished,
With boldness I came
To drink at the Fountain,
Life–giving and free.
Jehovah Tsidkenu
Is all things to me.

In treading the valley,
The shadow of death,
This watchword shall rally
My faltering breath…
And when from life's fever
My God sets me free…
“Jehovah tsidkenu”
My death song shall be!
