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 the cursed tree,
And knows her guilt was there.
