O Thou Whose Offering on the Tree (EN 5509)

EN 5509 O Thou Whose Offering on the Tree

Heb.10.4

Versi Version 1

1

O Thou whose offering on the tree

The legal offerings all foreshowed,

Borrowed their whole effect from Thee,

And drew their virtue from Thy blood.

2

The blood of goats and bullocks slain,

Could never for one sin atone;

To purge the guilty offerer’s stain,

Thine was the work, and Thine alone.

3

Vain in themselves their duties were,

Their services could never please,

Till joined with Thine, and made to share

The merits of Thy righteousness.

4

Forward they cast a faithful look

On Thy approaching sacrifice;

And thence their pleasing savor took,

And rose accepted in the skies.

5

These feeble types and shadows old,

Are all in Thee, the Truth, fulfilled;

We in Thy sacrifice behold

The substance of those rites revealed.

6

Thy meritorious sufferings past,

We see by faith to us brought back;

And, on Thy grand oblation cast,

Its saving benefits partake.
