Lyics

NOT all the blood of beasts,

On Jewish altars slain,

Could give the guilty conscience peace,

Or wash away its stain.



But Christ, the heav'nly Lamb,

Bears all our sins away;

A sacrifice of nobler name

And richer blood than they.



Believing, we rejoice

To see the curse remove;

We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,

And sing his dying love.
