Blood Has a Voice to Pierce the Skies

Blood has a voice to pierce the skies

Revenge! the blood of Ab­el cries;

But the dear stream when Christ was slain

Speaks peace as loud from ev­ery vein.

Pardon and peace from God on high;

Behold

He lays His ven­geance by

And re­bels that de­served His sword

Become the fa­vo­rites of the Lord.

To Je­sus let our prais­es rise

Who gave His life a sac­ri­fice;

Now He ap­pears be­fore His God

And for our par­don pleads His blood.
