Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #128 (1993) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts
On Israel's 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 In faith I place my hand
On that dear head divine,
As penitently here I stand
And lay on him my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burden you did bear
When hanging on the cursed tree--
I know 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. Topics: Lent; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
