Blood of His Covenant

Blood of His co­ve­nant

Sprinkles down up­on us

Cleanses our fil­thi­ness; wash­es from sin!

Pour down up­on our hearts! Flood ov­er our res­cued souls!

Seal our great ac­quit­tal from all guilt with­in!

Gone are my stains of guilt;

Gone my deep pol­lu­tion;

Gone

gone to Cal­va­ry; lost in His grave!

There lies my wick­ed­ness

for­ev­er bur­ied!

Spotless

I ado­re Him

for all that He gave!

Closed is the great abyss!

Silent

my ac­cus­er!

Only Christ’s right­eous­ness speaks now for me.

I feel His nail-scarred hand

ten­der­ly wash­ing all!

Loved in the Be­loved

O how can this be?

Worship the mys­te­ry!

Fall in mute am­aze­ment!

Murmur as­ton­ished praise there at His feet!

Now breaks my heart of stone; now comes His Spir­it;

Now my heart of flesh is quick­ened to beat.
