The Blood of Jesus

Barney Elliott Warren • English

Primary Scripture: Hebrews 9:22

Verse 1

Must I in sinful bondage be, Deprived of peace and liberty, When in the promise I can see The blood of Jesus cleanseth?

Chorus

The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus; The blood will work a perfect cure, Will cleanse the heart and keep it pure; The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus.

Verse 2

Must I be doubting, full of fear, And gloom obscure my pathway here, Be up and down in life’s career? The blood of Jesus cleanseth.

Chorus

The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus; The blood will work a perfect cure, Will cleanse the heart and keep it pure; The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus.

Verse 3

Must I be under guilt and sin, And have its blighting force within, Beset by wrong, no vict’ry win? The blood of Jesus cleanseth.

Chorus

The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus; The blood will work a perfect cure, Will cleanse the heart and keep it pure; The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus.

Verse 4

Must I suppose I’m right today, Tomorrow think I’ve gone astray, Let demons hold me in dismay? The blood of Jesus cleanseth.

Chorus

The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus; The blood will work a perfect cure, Will cleanse the heart and keep it pure; The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus.

Verse 5

Must I by Satan be accused, And with his galling yoke abused, Until at length from heav’n refused? The blood of Jesus cleanseth.

Chorus

The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus; The blood will work a perfect cure, Will cleanse the heart and keep it pure; The blood, the blood, The precious blood of Jesus.
