Just as the bull carrying the sins of the people was burned outside the camp, so Jesus, carrying our sins, suffered outside Jerusalem.

     1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them: 3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering. 4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock’s head, and kill the bullock before the LORD. 5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation: 6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary. 7 And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away, 10 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering. 11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung, 12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.(KJV)

1. O perfect life of love! 
All, all, is finished now, 
All that He left His throne above 
To do for us below. 

2. No work is left undone 
Of all the Father willed; 
His toil, His sorrows, one by one, 
The Scriptures have fulfilled. 

3. No pain that we can share 
But He has felt its smart; 
All forms of human grief and care 
Have pierced that tender heart. 

4. And on His thorn-crowned head 
And on His sinless soul 
Our sins in all that guilt were laid 
That He might make us whole. 

5. In perfect love He dies; 
For me He dies, for me. 
O all-atoning Sacrifice, 
I cling by faith to Thee. 

6. In every time of need, 
Before the judgment-throne, 
Thy works, O Lamb of God, I’ll plead, 
Thy merits, not mine own. 

7. Yet work, O Lord, in me 
As Thou for me hast wrought, 
And let my love the answer be 
To grace Thy love has brought.
