G V Wigram – Not a Cloud above – not a Spot within

1

HOW bright, there above, is the mercy of God!

And void of all guilt, and clear of all sin,

Are my conscience and heart, through my Saviour’s blood:

Not a cloud above – not a spot within.

2

Christ died! then I’m clean : not a spot within.

God’s mercy and love! not a cloud above.

‘Tis the Spirit, through faith, thus triumphs o’er sin:

Not a cloud above – not a spot within.

George Vicesimus Wigram (1805-1879)
