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.


I cling to Christ,
And marvel at the cost:
Jesus forsaken and estranged from God.
Bought by such love,
My life is not my own.
My praise-my all-
Shall be for Christ alone.


His robes for mine:
What cause have I for dread?
God's daunting Law
Christ fulfilled in my stead.
Faultless I stand
With righteous works not mine,
Saved by my Lord's
Vicarious death and life.


I cling to Christ,
And marvel at the cost:
Jesus forsaken and estranged from God.
Bought by such love,
My life is not my own.
My praise-my all-
Shall be for Christ alone.


His robes for mine:
God's justice is appeased.
Jesus is bruised,
And thus the Father's pleased.
God’s cup of wrath,
Christ drank, then cried "‘Tis done!"
Sin's wage is paid; propitiation won.


I cling to Christ,
And marvel at the cost:
Jesus forsaken and estranged from God.
Bought by such love,
My life is not my own.
My praise-my all-
Shall be for Christ alone.


His robes for mine:
Such anguish none can know.
Christ, God's beloved,
Condemned as though His foe.
He, as though I,
Accursed and left alone;
I, as though He,
Embraced and welcomed home!


I cling to Christ,
And marvel at the cost:
Jesus forsaken and estranged from God.
Bought by such love,
My life is not my own.
My praise-my all-
Shall be for Christ alone.
