The evil Conscience purified by the Blood of JESUS. Heb. ix. 13, 14

by (1773–1832)

Listen in the reader

Blest be the Lamb, whose Blood was spilt To sprinkle Conscience from its Guilt; To ease its Pains, to calm its Fears, And purchase Grace for future Years.

Cleans'd by this all-atoning Blood We joy in free Access to GOD, The living GOD, before whose Face Sinners in vain shall seek a Place.

Rouse thee, my Soul, to serve him still With cordial Love, with active Zeal: Serve him, like his own Son divine, Who made his Life the Price of thine.

Blest Jesus, introduc'd by Thee, The Father's smiling Face I see; And strengthen'd by thy Grace alone, These grateful Services are done.

Then must my Debt from Day to Day Grow with each Service that I pay; So grows my Joy, Dear Lord, to be Thus more and more in Debt to Thee.
