Author: I. Watts Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #48 (1911) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 heavenly 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 thus 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. Topics: General Hymns; Redemption and Justification; Repentance Languages: English
