From the Cross the blood is falling by Joseph Barnby — Lyrics
From the Cross the blood is falling,
And to us a voice is calling,
Like a trumpet silverclear;
'Tis the voice announcing pardon,
"It is finished," is its burden,
Pardon to the far and near.
Peace that precious blood is sealing,
All our wounds forever healing,
And removing every load;
