" For the life of the flesh is in the blood:and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul" (Lev. 17:11.)

Nothing but blood, the precious blood
Of Christ, can purge the soul from sin;
He freely gave the cleansing flood,
And all are saved who trust therein.

"I will execute judgement .I am the Lord! . . . And the blood
shall be to you for a token . . . and when I see the blood, I will
pass over you."(Exodus xii:11, 12.)

It was redemption’s pledge of old,
Salvation’s token sent from heaven;
God said, "when I the blood behold,"
It stands for peace and sins forgiven!

"Neither is there salvation in any other:for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts iv:12.)

Nor name nor character will count,
For sin is purged by blood alone,
And Jesus’ veins supplied the fount,
The only stream that can atone.

"By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians ii:8, 9.)

And they who would atonement buy
With wealth or works, but build in vain;
"The soul that sinneth it shall die,"
Except the blood has cleansed the stain.

"And without shedding of blood is no remission. "(Heb. 9:22.)

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. (John 3:16.)

Without the blood there cannot be
Remission from the guilt of sin,
But Calvary’s fount is flowing free
To any who will trust therein.
"God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. . . . Christ died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:8, 6.)

Unsaved one, now this word believe:
"For the ungodly Jesus died,"
And thus, through faith, the gift receive,
And "by the blood be justified."

Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold . . . but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot (1 Peter 1:18, 19).

Above the silver and the gold,
And all the wealth of worlds untold,
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Is still the gift of love unpriced.
