The Cross and its Shadow

Section 7-The Autumnal Annual Feasts

The Sprinkled Blood

The sprinkled blood is speaking
Before the Father’s throne,
The Spirit’s power is seeking
To make its virtues known;
The sprinkled blood is telling
Jehovah’s love to man,
While heavenly harps are swelling
Sweet notes to mercy’s plan.

The sprinkled blood is speaking
Forgiveness full and free,
Its wondrous power is breaking
Each bond of guilt for me;
The sprinkled blood’s revealing
A Father’s smiling face,
The Saviour’s love is scaling
Each monument of grace.

The sprinkled blood is pleading
Its virtue as my own,
And there my soul is reading
Her title to Thy throne.
The sprinkled blood is owning
The weak one’s feeblest plea;
’Mid sighs and tears, and groaning,
It pleads, O Lord, with Thee.
-Anon.
