THE SINNER'S REFUGE.

WITHOUT blood is no remission, Thus the Lord proclaims from Heaven ; Blood must flow, on this condition— Thus alone is sin forgiven. Yes, a victim must be slain, Else all hope of life is vain.
But the victim, who shall find it— Such a one as sinners need? To the altar who shall bind it? Who shall make the victim bleed? Such a victim as must die All the world could not supply.
God himself provides the victim ; Jesus is the Lamb of God ; Heaven, and earth, and hell afflict him, While he bears the sinner's load, 'Tis his blood, his blood alone, Can for human guilt atone.
Joyful truth! he bore transgression In his body on the cross ; Through his blood there's full remission For the vilest, e'en for us ; Jesus for the sinner bleeds— Nothing more the sinner needs.
—Dublin Tract.
