190.  The Precious Blood

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 soul looks back to see
The burden he did bear,
While pouring out his life for me;
And sees her ransom there.
