I was just searching for a hymn tune in common meter for a new song, and this one came up. When I saw it, I immediately recognized it as one I had written for the Lord's Table back in the 1970s. I believe I wrote it during the 10 day conference on Hebrews, since so much of it is based on that book, especially Heb. 4:16; 9:14; and 12:24, listing how the blood of Christ opens the way for us to receive all the blessings of the new covenant.
Dear Lord, how precious is Thy blood of the New Testament!
By it God's blessings we receive, and we with Him are blent.
