CLXIII

Text:	Faith in Christ our sacrifice
Author:	Dr. Watts

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 its 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,
And hopes her guit was there.

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