Lyrics

The blood that Je­sus once shed for me,
As my Re­deem­er, up­on the tree;
The blood that sett­eth the pri­son­er free,
Will ne­ver lose its pow­er.

Refrain

It will ne­ver lose its pow’r,
It will ne­ver lose its pow’r;
The blood that cleans­es from all sin
Will ne­ver lose its pow­er.

It gives us ac­cess to God on high,
From far off plac­es it brings us nigh;
To pre­cious bless­ings that ne­ver die,
It will ne­ver lose its pow­er.

Refrain

It is a shel­ter for rich and poor,
It is to Hea­ven the op­en door;
The sin­ner’s me­rit for­ev­er­more,
It will ne­ver lose its pow­er.

Refrain

And when with all the blood washed throng
We sing in glo­ry re­demp­tion’s song;
We’ll pass the glo­ri­ous truth along,
It has ne­ver lost its pow­er.
