Would teach to all His own,
He placed them safe beyond the reach
Of death, by blood alone.
It is His word, . . God's precious word, . .
It stands for ever true :
When I the Lord . . shall see the blood, . .
I will pass over you.
2 By Christ, the sinless Lamb of God,
The precious blood was shed,
When He fulfilled God's holy Word,
And suffered in our stead.
3 O soul, for thee salvation thus
By God is freely given;
The blood of Christ atones for sin,
And makes us meet for heaven.
4 The wrath of God that was our due,
Upon the Lamb was laid;
And by the shedding of His blood
The debt for us was paid.
5 How calm the judgment hour shall
To all who do obey [pass
The Word of God, and trust the blood,
And make that Word their stay !
