1. ‘Tis Jesus’ blood that washes white,
That makes me pure within;
He keeps the inward witness right,
And cleanses from all sin.
(Chorus) Oh the blood, (Oh! the blood,) the precious blood so dear, (the precious blood so dear,)
Saving now (Saving now) from ev’ry doubt and fear, (from ev’ry doubt and fear,)
leaning now (Cleansing now) my guilty heart within, (my guilty heart within,
Making free from self and sin.
2. ‘Tis Jesus’ blood that sweeps away
The pow’r of Satan’s rod;
It shows the new and living way,
And leads to heav’n and God.
3. ‘Tis Jesus’ blood that brings us night
To holiness and heav’n,
The source of victory and joy—
God’s life for rebels giv’n.
