Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #231 (1908) First Line: Not all the blood of beast 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 burden Thou didst bear
While hanging on th' accursed tree,
And knows her guilt was there. Topics: Trust Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON
