The Perfect Sacrifice

LORD, we are vile, and full of sin,
We're born unholy and unclean;
Sprung from the man whose guilty fall
Corrupts his race, and taints us all. {CIS 122.1}

Behold, we fall before thy face.
Our only refuge is thy grace:
No outward forms can make us clean;
The leprosy lies deep within. {CIS 122.2} Nor bleeding, bird, nor bleeding beast,
Nor hyssop branch, nor earthly priest,
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea,
Can wash the dismal stain away. {CIS 122.3}

Jesus, thy blood, thy blood alone,
Hath power sufficient to atone;
Thy blood can make us white as snow,
No other tide can cleanse us so.
-Isaac Watts. {CIS 122.4}
