Christ in Song 71
The Passover
Words: F. E. BeldenMusic: F. E. Belden
1When I see the blood, I will pass over you,
Saith the Lord, and the plague shall not be on you;
When I see the blood, I will pass over you,
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.
RefrainI will pass o - ver you, when I see the blood,
I will pass o - ver you, 'tis a sav - ing flood.
2The Lamb is slain, the Sin - of - fer - ing died,
And the door - posts of the heart are sprinkled o'er;
With the blood of the Lamb that was crucified,
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.
3The world sleeps on, but morning light burns on,
His blood is shed - that is, it on the por - tal!
Give great heed lest you be in your sins o'er - come,
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.
