P.M.

PRECIOUS, precious blood of Jesus,

Shed on Calvary;

Shed for rebels, shed for sinners,

Shed for thee.

Precious, precious blood of Jesus,

Ever flowing free;

Oh, believe it; oh, receive it,

’Tis for thee.

2

Precious, precious blood of Jesus,

Let it make thee whole;

Let it flow in mighty cleansing

O’er thy soul.

3

Though thy sins are red like crimson,

Deep in scarlet glow,

Jesus’ precious blood shall wash thee

White as snow.

4

Precious blood that hath redeemed us!

All the price is paid:

Perfect pardon now is offered,

Peace is made.

5

Now the holiest with boldness

We may enter in;

For the open fountain cleanseth

From all sin.

6

Precious blood, by this we conquer

In the fiercest fight,

Sin and Satan overcoming

By its might.

7

Precious blood whose full atonement

Makes us nigh to God:

Precious blood, our way of glory,

Praise and laud.
