Hymn 293 – NOT all the blood of beasts | C&S English Hymnary

1. NOT all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain Could give the guilty conscience peace Or wash away the slain. 2. But Christ the heavenly 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 dist bear When hanging on the accursed tree I know my guilt He bore. 5. Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice And sing His bleeding love! AMEN
