To purge themselves from sin | F |
Thy life was pure without a spot | G |

Was on their altar spilt | J |

And in the presence of our God | S |
Shows his own sacrifice | T |

He ever lives to intercede | X |
Before his Father's face | L |
Give him my soul thy cause to plead | X |
Nor doubt the Father's grace | L |
