Author: Watts Hymnal: Calvary Songs #57 (1875) Refrain First Line: O the blood, the precious blood Lyrics: 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [Not all the blood of beasts]
