JESUS EVER SPEAKS BY BLOOD

(Tune:
Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide #169 77.77D)
Jesus ever speaks by blood
For the
chosen sons of God.
Who
shall charge us now with sin?
Jesus'
blood declares us clean!
All our
sins on Christ were laid.
He for
sinners sin was made!
When
for us the Surety died,
Justice
there was satisfied.
Though
the law could never bow,
It
cannot condemn us now.
Jesus'
blood makes us complete,
Speaking
from the mercy-seat.
For His
ransomed ones He claims,
(See,
upon His heart their names!)
Pardon
and eternal life,
Pleading
His great sacrifice.
God in judgment still will hear
Jesus'
blood our souls to clear:
"All
their debts you cast on Me,
All is
paid, they must go free!"
Then
His courts we'll enter in,
Freed
from guilt and blame and sin!
Sinners
reconciled by blood,
Evermore we'll praise our God!
