Not all the blood of beasts
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace
Or wash away its stain
But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
A sacrifice of nobler Name,
and richer blood, than they.
Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing His wondrous love.
- Isaac Watts
Hi buddy – I’m studying Hebrews 9 for tomorrow’s sermon and I had this song in my head as I did it. In the early days of Calvary Cork we sang it a lot!
Wonderful to see it on your blog.
Hey do you have a certain group or hymnal that does it well? I haven’t heard the audio of it only read the words.
