hymn lyric about two aspects of sin

[Decoder]

"Rock of Ages" has a great line that goes
'be to me a double cure; save me from sin's guilt and power'

I think there is another hymn out there that mentions this one way or another. anyone know.

There is an important Christian doctrine that sin is both a debt and a mess. Sometimes this is called the legal and moral aspects of sin. Obviously you don't use the same thing to solve both. Debt is solved by credit. Weakness/mess is solved by strengthening and cleaning.

Maybe the 3rd Stanza...

1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
see him dying on the tree!
'Tis the Christ, by man rejected;
yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he.
'Tis the long-expected Prophet,
David's Son, yet David's Lord;
proofs I see sufficient of it:
'tis the true and faithful Word.
2 Tell me, as you hear him groaning,
was there ever grief like his,
friends through fear his cause disowning,
foes insulting his distress?
Many hands were raised to wound him,
none would interpose to save;
but the deepest stroke that pierced him
was the stroke that justice gave.
3 If you think of sin but lightly
nor suppose the evil great,
here may view its nature rightly,
here its guilt may estimate.
Mark the sacrifice appointed,
see who bears the awful load;
'tis the Word, the Lord's anointed,
Son of Man and Son of God.
4 Here we have a firm foundation,
here the refuge of the lost:
Christ, the Rock of our salvation,
is the name of which we boast;
Lamb of God, for sinners wounded,
sacrifice to cancel guilt!
None shall ever be confounded
who on him their hope have built.
