| Text: | Not All the Blood of Beasts |
| Author: | I. Watts, 1674-1748 |
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 burden Thou didst bear
When hanging on the cursed tree
And knows 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.
