Genesis 4:10: How loud the blood of Abel cries
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
How loud the blood of Abel cries,
Demanding vengeance from the ground I
But louder still throughout the skies
Thou hear'st the blood of Jesus sound:
It pleads for the apostate race.
That all His murderers may live.
It asks for me Thy sparing grace,
And every drop cries out. Forgive!
