"Not all the blood of beasts, On Jewish alters slain"

Hymn written by Isaac Watts
  1. Not all the blood of beasts,
    On Jewish alters slain,
    Could give the guilty conscience peace,
    Or wash away the stain.
  1. But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
    Takes all our sins away;
    A sacrifice of nobler name
    And richer blood then they.
  1. My faith would lay her hand
    On that dear head of Thine,
    While like a penitent I stand,
    And there confess my sin.
  1. My soul looks back to see
    The burdens Thou didst bear
    When hanging on the cursed tree,
    And knows her guilt was there.
  1. Believing, we rejoice
    To see the cure remove;
    We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
    And sing His bleeding love!
