The Significance of Blood in Exodus and Redemption

When I See The Blood Exodus 12:12-14

Exodus 12:12-14 12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. 13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

When I See The Blood 1. Christ, our redeemer, died on the cross. Died for the sinner, paid all his due; All who receive Him need never fear, Yes He will pass, will pass over you. 2. Chiefest of sinners Jesus can save, As he has promised so will He do; O sinner hear Him, trust in His word, Then He will pass, will pass over you. 3. Judgment is coming, all will be there, Who have rejected, who have refused; O sinner, harken, let Jesus in, Then God will pass, will pass over you. 4. O what compassion, O boundless love, Jesus hath power, Jesus is true; All who obey are safe from the storm. O He will pass, will pass over you. Chorus - When I see the blood I will pass over you. # 289* - When I See The Blood, by John G. Foote * Hymns For Worship When I See The Blood 3

There Is A Fountain 1. There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel s veins; And sinners plunged beneath the flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow r, Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved to sin no more. 3. E er since by faith I saw the stream, Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. # 314* - There is A Fountain, by William Cowper, 1771 *Hymns For Worship When I See The Blood 4
