Christ our Sacrifice. OT all the blood of beasts, On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away our stain. 2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away ; A sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood, than they. 3 Believing, we rejoice To feel the curse remove ; We bless the Lamb, with cheerful voice, And trust his bleeding love.
