Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #111 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: Not all the blood of beasts Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.
2 But Christ, the heav'nly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of thine--
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burdens thou didst bear,
When hanging on the cursed tree,
I hopes her guilt was there.
5 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice
And sing his bleeding love. Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him Scripture: John 1:29 Languages: English
