321. Behold the Lamb, Whose Precious Blood

C.M.
by W. Trotter
1
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 next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)
“And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!” (John 1:36)
“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:19)
“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.” (John 19:34)
“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor.” (Ephesians 5:2)

The dying thief beheld that Lamb
 
Expiring by his side,
 
And proved the value of the name
 
Of Jesus crucified.
3
His soul, by virtue of the blood,
 
To paradise received,
 
Redemption’s earliest trophy stood,
 
From sin and death retrieved.
4
We, too, the cleansing power have known
 
Of the atoning blood,
 
By grace have learnt His name to own,
 
Which brings us back to God.
5
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.
