Precious, precious blood of Jesus
220
8.5.8.3.D.
1 Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
Shed on Calvary;
Shed for rebels, shed for sinners,
Shed for me.
Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
Ever flowing free;
Oh, believe it; oh, receive it,
‘Tis for thee.
2 Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
All the price is paid;
Perfect pardon now is offered,
Peace is made.
Though thy sins are red like crimson,
Deep in scarlet glow,
Jesus' precious blood can make them
White as snow.
3 Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
God's beloved Son,
Telling that the work is finished;
All is done.
Now the holiest with boldness
We may enter in;
For the open fountain cleanseth
From all sin.
4 Precious blood, by this we conquer
In the fiercest fight,
Sin and Satan overcoming
By its might.
Precious blood, whose full atonement
Makes us nigh to God!
Precious blood, our way to glory,
Praise and laud!
F.R. Havergal
