1. It was the Savior’s precious blood
That cleansed my soul, that cleansed my soul
(That cleansed my soul, that cleansed my soul,)
‘Tis still the precious healing flood
That keeps me fully whole.
Chorus:
Wonderful keeping power, glorious keeping power,
(Wonderful keeping power, glorious keeping power,)
I’m abiding in the fountain that flows so full and free,
Wonderful keeping power (Wonderful keeping power,)
Glorious keeping power, (Glorious keeping pow’r,)
The blood now cleanseth me.
2. No power have I my feet to keep
Within the way, within the way;
(Within the way, within the way,)
But Jesus knows my feeble frame
And saves me day by day.
3. I cannot tell how I am saved
By blood alone, by blood alone;
(By blood alone, by blood alone,)
Nor how it is my soul he keeps
But this I know, ’tis done.
4. With jealous care and watchful eye
He guards his own, he guards his own;
(He guards his own, he guards his own,)
No power can snatch them from his hand
Who trust in God alone.
