Sufficient Sacrifice: Hebrews Series - 11

Tune: Serenity

('Immortal love, forever full')

Hebrews 9 v.22-28

********

Almost all things are by the law

Cleansed by blood, 'tis for sure

And without blood-shedding is none

Forgiveness, not for one

 

For Christ in the New Covenant

The Father has Him sent

As our high priest, in heaven appears

To presence of God nears

 

Not that He offers as in Old [Covenant]

Sacrifices retold

Repeated yearly by high priest

At each Atonement feast

 

For is so He must have suffered

Often, and self offered

But now in end times has appeared

That sin be dealt with, cleared

 

And as it is so appointed

To men once to die, heed

But after this the judgement day

To render each their way

 

So Christ was once offered to bear

The sins of many there

Upon the cross, His sacrifice

Offering did suffice

 

Unto them that do for Him wait

He shall appear not late

Returns, now having dealt with sin

Brings full salvation in
