I Will Pass Over You

When God of old the way of life

Would teach to all His own

He placed them safe be­yond the reach

Of death

by blood alone.

It is His Word

God’s pre­cious Word

It stands for­ev­er true;

When I the Lord shall see the blood

I will pass over you.

By Christ

the sin­less Lamb of God

The pre­cious blood was shed

When He ful­filled God’s ho­ly Word

And suf­fered in our stead.

O soul

for thee sal­va­tion thus

By God is free­ly giv’n;

The blood of Christ atones for sin

And makes us meet for Heav’n.

The wrath of God that was our due

Upon the Lamb was laid;

And by the shed­ding of His blood

The debt for us was paid.

How calm the Judg­ment hour shall pass

To all who do ob­ey

The Word of God

and trust the blood

And make that Word their stay!
