Sabbath Song

Mercy Speaks by Jesus' Blood
by William Gadsby, 1838

Mercy speaks by Jesus' blood;

Hear and sing, ye sons of God;

Justice satisfied indeed;

Christ has full atonement made.

Jesus' blood speaks loud and sweet;

Here all Deity can meet,

And, without a jarring voice,

Welcome Zion to rejoice.

 Should the law against her roar,

 Jesus' blood still speaks with power,

All her debts were cast on Me,

And she must and shall go free.

Peace of conscience, peace with God,

We obtain through Jesus' blood;

Jesus' blood speaks solid rest;

We believe, and we are blessed.
