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.
