My blood I thus pour forth, he cries, To cleanse the soul in sin that lies; In this the covenant is seal’d, And Heav’n’s eternal grace reveal’d.
Then in his hands the cup he rais’d, And God anew he thank’d and prais’d; While kindness in his bosom glow’d, And from his lips salvation flow’d:My blood I thus pour forth, he cries, To cleanse the soul in sin that lies; In this the covenant is seal’d, And Heav’n’s eternal grace reveal’d.
Still let thy grace our life direct; from evil guard our way; And in temptation’s fatal path permit us not to stray. 7 For thine the pow’r, the kingdom thine; all glory’s due to thee: Thine from eternity they were, and thine shall ever be.
Bless’d be the everlasting God, the Father of our Lord; Be his abounding mercy prais’d, his majesty ador’d. 2 When from the dead he rais’d his Son, and call’d him to the sky, He gave our souls a lively hope that they should never die.To an inheritance divine he taught our hearts to rise; ’Tis uncorrupted, undefil’d, unfading in the skies.
