Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
His robes for mine: O wonderful exchange!
Clothed in my sin, Christ suffered 'neath God's rage.
Draped in His righteousness, I'm justified.
In Christ I live, for in my place He died.
REFRAIN
I cling to Christ, and marvel at the cost:
Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God.
Bought by such love, my life is not my own.
My praise my all shall be for Christ alone.
VERSE 2
His robes for mine: what cause have I for dread?
God's daunting Law Christ mastered in my stead.
Faultless I stand, with righteous works not mine,
Saved by my Lord's vicarious death and life.
VERSE 3
His robes for mine: God's justice is appeased.
Jesus is crushed, and thus the Father's pleased.
Christ drank God's wrath on sin, then cried, "'Tis done!"
Sin's wage is paid; propitiation won.
VERSE 4
His robes for mine: such anguish none can know.
Christ, God's belov'd, condemned as though His foe.
He, as though I, accursed and left alone;
I, as though He, embraced and welcomed home!
