No weight of gold or silver
Can measure human worth;
No soul secures its ransom
With all the wealth of earth;
No sinners find their freedom
But by the gift unpriced,
The Lamb of God unblemished,
The precious blood of Christ.
In Christ the past is over,
A new world now begins,
With him we rise to freedom
Who saves us from our sins.
We live by faith in Jesus
To make his glory known:
Behold, the Man of sorrows,
The Lamb upon his Throne!
Also on Tuesday the reading in the Magnificat was from Wisdom 3:1-6 which begins with “the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them“. I could not help but think of my family – just people – who now live with Christ.
