440. Jesus Christ, who stands between

1 Jesus Christ, who stands between
Angry heaven and guilty men,
Undertakes to buy our peace;
Gives the covenant of grace;
Ratifies and makes it good;
Signs and seals it with his blood.

2 Life his healing blood imparts,
Sprinkled in our peaceful hearts;
Abel's blood for vengeance cried,
Jesus speaks us justified;
Speaks and calls for better things;
Makes us prophets, priests, and kings.
