- 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 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, alike a penitent, I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4. My soul looks back to see
The burdens thou didst bear
When hanging on the curséd tree,
And hopes 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.
