O the blood, the precious blood
The Cross! the Cross! that blood-stained Cross!
The hallowed Cross I see!
Reminding me of precious blood
That once was shed for me.
Refrain:
Oh, the blood! the precious blood!
That Jesus shed for me,
Upon the Cross in crimson flood,
Just now by faith I see.
That Cross! that Cross! that heavy Cross,
My Savior bore for me,
Which bowed Him to the earth with grief,
On sad Mount Calvary.
Refrain:
Oh, the blood! the precious blood!
That Jesus shed for me,
Upon the Cross in crimson flood,
Just now by faith I see.
The crown! the crown! the glorious crown!
The crown of victory!
The crown of life! It shall be mine
When I shall Jesus see.
Refrain:
Oh, the blood! the precious blood!
That Jesus shed for me,
Upon the Cross in crimson flood,
Just now by faith I see.
My tears, unbidden, seem to flow,
For love, unbounded love,
Which guides me thro’ this world of woe
And points to joys above.
Refrain:
Oh, the blood! the precious blood!
That Jesus shed for me,
Upon the Cross in crimson flood,
Just now by faith I see.
