Without blood is no remission

Author: Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Without blood is no remission; Thus the law proclaims from heaven; Blood must flow--on this condition, This alone, is sin forgiven: Yes, a victim must be slain, Else all hope of life is vain. 2 But the victim--who shall find it? Such a one as sinners need? To the altar who shall bind it? Who shall make the victim bleed? Questions these of anxious thought, Till the word of God is bright. 3 God himself provides the Victim-- Jesus is the Lamb of God; Heaven and earth and hell afflict him, While he bears the sinner's load: 'Tis his blood, and that alone, Can for human guilt atone.
