Not Blood of Beasts

1Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.

2But Christ, the heav'nly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they.

3My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
