The Precious Blood

Verse 1

The cross! that blood-stain’d cross! The hallowed cross I see! Reminding me of precious blood That once was shed for me.

Chorus

O the blood! the precious blood! That Jesus shed for me, Upon the cross in crimson flood, Just now by faith I see.

Verse 2

A thousand fountains spring Up from the throne of God; But none to me such blessings bring As Jesus' precious blood.

Verse 3

That blood my ransom paid, While I in bondage stood; On Jesus all my sins were laid, He saved me with His blood.

Verse 4

This theme will best employ My harp before my God, And make all heav’n resound with joy, For Jesus’ cleansing blood.
