Revelation 12: By the blood of the Lamb

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

By the blood of the Lamb
Our companions o'ercame;
And its virtue continues for ever the same.

The world, and its god
Shall again be subdued
By the virtue Divine of our Advocate's blood.

For all it was shed;
And He rose from the dead,
His atoning oblation for sinners to plead:

He prays for His own:
His blood shall pray on,
Till redeem'd from all sin we ascend to His throne.
