John Wesley (1703-1791)

5 Verses Lamb Of God Blood Atonement Sacrificial Love

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

My faith would lay her hand On that meek head of thine, While as a penitent I stand, And here confess my sin.

Verse 4

My soul looks back to see The burden thou didst bear When hanging on the accursed tree, And knows her guilt was there.

Verse 5

Believing, we rejoice To feel the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And trust his bleeding love.
