15*. The Lamb Was Slain, His Precious Blood
8,8,8,8,4,8.
by G.W. Frazer
The Lamb was slain, His precious blood
On Calvary’s awful tree was shed;
He for the guilty sinner stood,
And bore the judgment in his stead.
And now He lives who once was dead.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” (Revelation 5:9)
“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)
Proclaimer of that peace to all,
He tells of full, unmingled grace;
To high and low — who hear the call —
To old and young of Adam’s race,
And love divine shines in His face.
Behold Him now, exalted high,
Upon the throne He took His seat,
Oh, wondrous grace, that we brought nigh
And in Him seated are complete,
For light divine He’s made us meet.
“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.” (Ephesians 2:14)
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.” (Colossians 1:12)
