No blood, no altar now

No blood

no altar now

The sacrifice is o’er!

No flame

no smoke ascends on high

The lamb is slain no more

But richer blood has flowed from nobler veins

To purge the soul from guilt

and cleanse the reddest stains.

We thank Thee for the blood

The blood of Christ

God’s Son

The blood by which our peace is made

Redemption great is won

Delivering us from hell

and sin

and woe;

That His eternal life God may to us bestow.
