Matthew 27:25: Horrible wish! Thy murderers dare

Horrible wish! Thy murderers dare
The blessing to a curse pervert:
We turn the curse into a prayer;
To cleanse our lives, and purge our liearl,
in all its hallowing, blissful powers
Thy blood be, Lord, on us and ours!

On me, Thou bleeding Lamb, on mc
Be pour'd the consecrating stream,
From all, from all iniquity
My life, my nature to redeem,
To fill with purity Divine,
And sign my soul for ever Thine.
