First to the Jews was Shiloh sent

Verse 1
First to the Jews was Shiloh sent,
Power effectual to repent
On Israel he bestow’d,
With pardon and salvation bless’d,
His murtherers from their sins releas’d,
And wash’d them in his blood.

Verse 2
He now is sent to every heart,
Every soul he would convert,
In their accepted day:
And heathens now are justified,
And feel thro’ faith the blood applied
Which takes our sins away.
