Behold The Lamb, Whose Precious Blood

Behold the Lamb, whose precious blood Drawn from His riven side, Had power to make our peace with God, Nor lets one spot abide.
The dying thief beheld that Lamb Expiring by his side, And proved the value of the Name Of Jesus crucified.
His soul, by virtue of the blood, To paradise received, Redemption's earliest trophy stood, From sin and death retrieved.
We, too, the cleansing power have known Of Christ's atoning blood, By grace have learnt His name to own, By which we're brought to God.
To Him, then, let our songs ascend, Who stooped in grace so low: To Christ, the Lamb, the sinner's Friend, Let ceaseless praises flow.By William Trotter (1818-1865)
