Why all that sacrificial blood
throughout the sacred Book?
What does to me that crimson flood
to which I´m told to look?

My conscience stained needs nothing less
despite all worldly grudge,
I´ve learned the blood of Christ to bless
before a righteous Judge!

The world belittles Jesus Christ,
His cross, His wounds, His death,
but what for me He sacrificed,
is now my “shibboleth”!  *)

Although the world may have its charm,
it doesn´t heal my soul,
in Christ I find the gospel balm
that makes me sound and whole!

Go with me then to Calvary,
I of its wisdom boast,
here is my “university”
and my allotted post!
