| Text: | Not all the Blood of Beasts |
| Author: | Watts |
| Tune: | [Not all the blood of beasts] |
| Composer: | Rev. J. H. Stockton |
1 Not all the blood of beasts,
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.
Refrain:
Oh, the blood, the precious blood!
That Jesus shed for me,
Upon the cross, in crimson flood,
Just now by faith I see.
2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away—
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they. [Refrain]
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin. [Refrain]
4 My soul looks back to see
The burdens thou didst bear
When hanging on the cursed tree,
And hopes her guilt was there. [Refrain]
