The Precious Blood of Jesus.
I
Precious, precious blood of Jesus,Shed on Calvary;
Shed for rebels, shed for sinners,
Shed for me.
II
Precious blood, that hath redeemed us!All the price is paid;
Perfect pardon now is offered,
Peace is made.
III
Precious, precious blood of Jesus,Let it make thee whole;
Let it flow in mighty cleansing
O'er thy soul.
IV
Though thy sins are red like crimson,Deep in scarlet glow,
Jesu's precious blood can make them
White as snow.
V
Now the holiest with boldnessWe may enter in,
For the open fountain cleanseth
From all sin.

VI
Precious blood! by this we conquerIn the fiercest fight,
Sin and Satan overcoming
By its might.
VII
Precious, precious blood of Jesus,Ever flowing free!
O believe it, O receive it,
'Tis for thee!
VIII
Precious blood, whose full atonementMakes us nigh to God!
Precious blood, our song of glory,
Praise and laud!
