No blood, no altar now

1
No blood, no altar now,
  The sacrifice is o’er!
No flame, no smoke ascends on high,
  The lamb is slain no more,
But richer blood has flowed from nobler veins,
To purge the soul from guilt, and cleanse the reddest stains.
2
We thank Thee for the blood,
  The blood of Christ, God’s Son
The blood by which our peace is made,
  Redemption great is won,
Delivering us from hell, and sin, and woe;
That His eternal life God may to us bestow.

So many Glorious truths about our Savior! This hymn reminds me of one.

...Here's one thought. In Isaiah 6 there was the altar, the blood stained live coal. In Rev 4-5 there is no blood or altar. Only the resurrected Lamb... with wounds as rhough it had just been slain. Hmmm... love You Lord Jesus.

This hymn by Horatio Bonar is taken directly from Hebrews 10 and is of great consolation to the believer as are many hymns irrespective of author.

A truly wonderful website. Thank you.

The complete hymn:

No blood, no altar now, The sacrifice is o'er!

No flame, no smoke ascends on high,

The lamb is slain no more,

But richer blood has flowed from nobler veins,

To purge the soul from guilt, and cleanse the reddest stains.

We thank Thee for the blood, The blood of Christ, Thy Son:

The blood by which our peace is made,

Our victory is won:

Great victory o'er hell, and sin, and woe,

That needs no second fight, and leaves no second foe.

We thank Thee for the grace, Descending from above,

That overflows our widest guilt,

The'eternal Father's love.

Love of the Father's everlasting Son,

Love of the Holy Ghost, Jehovah, Three in One.

We thank Thee for the hope, So glad, and sure, and clear;

It holds the drooping spirit up

Till the long dawn appear;

Fair hope! with what a sunshine does it cheer

Our roughest path on earth, our dreariest desert here.

We thank Thee for the crown Of glory and of life;

'Tis no poor with'ring wreath of earth,

Man's prize in mortal strife;

'Tis incorruptible as is the throne,

The kingdom of our God and His incarnate Son.

I found a third verse, which follows:

We thank Thee for the grace,

Descending from above,

That overflows our widest guilt,

Eternal Father’s love.

Love of the Father’s everlasting Son

Love of the Holy Ghost, Jehovah, Three in One.

I thank God for your website.

This hymn and Alvin's comment edify me to remember that Jesus died for me, so why should I crave anything or anyone else, past and present, more than Him? It is only by His blood that I am healed and set free. I would try to play and sing this hymn for God's glory.
