Not all the blood of beasts,

• • Not all the blood of beasts, 
  • on Jewish altars slain, 
  • could give the guilty conscience peace, 
  • or wash away the stain. 
  • 
    
  • But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, 
  • takes all our sins away; 
  • a sacrifice of nobler name 
  • and richer blood than they. 
  • 
    
  • My faith would lay her hand 
  • on that dear head of Thine, 
  • while like a penitent I stand, 
  • and there confess my sin. 
  • 
    
  • My soul looks back to see 
  • the burdens Thou didst bear, 
  • when hanging on the cursed tree, 
  • and knows her guilt was there. 
  • 
    
  • Believing, we rejoice 
  • to see the curse remove; 
  • we bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, 
  • and sing His bleeding love
