Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #390 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Hebrews 9:12-14 Lyrics: 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 heavenly 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 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing his bleeding love. Topics: The Christian System Atonement; The Sacrifice
