When God of old the way

- When God of old the way of life
- would teach to all His own,
- He placed them safe beyond the reach
- of death, by blood alone.
- It is His word, God‟s precious word,
- it stands for ever true:
- ‘When I the Lord shall see the blood,
- I will pass over you.’
- By Christ, the sinless Lamb of God,
- the precious blood was shed
- when He fulfilled God‟s holy word,
- and suffered in our stead.
- O soul, for thee salvation thus
- by God is freely given;
- the blood of Christ atones for sin,
- and makes us meet for heaven.
- The wrath of God that was our due,
- upon the Lamb was laid;
- and by the shedding of His blood
- the debt for us was paid.
- How calm the judgement hour shall pass
- to all who do obey
- the word of God, and trust the blood,
- and make that word their stay!
