  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;
    I know my guilt was there.

  5. Believing, we rejoice
    To see the curse remove;
    We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice
    And sing His bleeding love. Amin.
