Tune: Laus Deo
(\'Bright the vision that delighted\')
Hebrews 9 v.12-14
********
Not by the blood of goats and calves
But by His own blood Christ saves
Entered once into holy place
To save all of every race
He has now for us sure obtained
Eternal redemption claimed
For if blood of bulls and of goats
Cleanses, what then Christ promotes?
Old Covenant animals slain
Outward cleansing they (the people) did gain
But how much more shall Christ\'s blood shed
Bring inward cleansing, \'tis said
He through the eternal Spirit
Offered Himself as was writ
Without spot to God, so cleansing
Conscience from dead works, each thing
Cleansed from things of man-made doing
Which cannot salvation bring
Cleansed to serve the living God true
We in Christ made creatures new
We benefit, New Covenant
God to us His Son has sent
He does forgive the penitent
Their state of heart repentant
