CHRIST, THE LAW FULFILLING.

[“Not all the blood of beasts]

“Not all the blood of beasts,
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.
“But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away,—
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they.’

[He died the just for the unjust]

He died the just for the unjust
That we, poor sinners, might have rest;
The claims of the law he fully met
And opened the door that had been shut.
