Not All the Blood of Beasts
- Not all the blood of beasts
on Jewish altars slain,
could give the guilty conscience peace,
or wash away the stain. - But Christ, the heav’nly Lamb,
takes all our sins away,
a sacrifice of nobler name
and richer blood than they. - My faith would lay her hand
on that dear head of thine,
while like a penitent I stand,
and there confess my sin. - My soul looks back to see
the burdens thou didst bear,
when hanging on the cursed tree,
and knows her guilt was there. - Believing, we rejoice
to see the curse remove;
we bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
and sing his bleeding love.
