Not All the Blood of Beasts
{ Not All the Blood of Beasts Heb 10:4 BEN RHYDDING-Alexander R. Reinagle SOUTHWELL-Psalter, William Daman, 1579 BOYLSTON-Lowell Mason CLYMER-George Frederick Root GERAR-Lowell Mason BADEA-German melody OLMUTZ-Gregorian chant (arr. Lowell Mason) ST. BRIDE-Samuel Howard SHAWMUT-Composer Unknown (arr. Dr. Lowell Mason) Not All the Blood of Beasts } Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away our stain. But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood, than they. My faith would lay her hand On that meek head of thine, While as a penitent I stand, And here confess my sin. My soul looks back to see The burden thou didst bear When hanging on the accursed tree, And knows her guilt was there. Believing, we rejoice To feel the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And trust his bleeding love. |
