IV.
‘Ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, . . . but
with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without
spot.’—1 Pet. i. 18, 19.
Now, in reverent love and wonder, touch the theme of deepest laud,
Precious blood of Christ that bought us and hath made us nigh to God!
His own blood, O love unfathomed! shed for those who loved Him not;
Mighty fountain always open, cleansing us from every spot.
