Not All the Blood of Beasts

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 602 hymnals 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 her hand on that dear head of thine, while like 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 cursed tree, and knows her guilt was there. 5 Believing, we rejoice to see the curse remove; we bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, and sing his bleeding love.
