When they cru­ci­fied my Sav­ior
On the cross of Cal­va­ry,
There a blessèd fount was opened
For my cleansing, full and free;
And my sins were all forgiven
Just by faith in His shed blood;
They are washed away for­ev­er
By the crimson flood.

Refrain

It cleanseth me! It cleanseth me!
The precious blood of Je­sus
Fully cleanseth me.
It cleanseth me! It cleanseth me!
The precious blood of Je­sus
Fully cleanseth me.

Now I plead the blood of Je­sus,
And He’s with me all the way;
I am happy and rejoicing
In His favor every day;
In the bur­den and the trial,
There is none so kind as He;
My Re­deem­er is my kinsman,
And His blood saves me.

Refrain

He will robe me with white raiment
When my pilgrimage is past;
And present me pure and spotless
With the sanctified at last;
I will sing His praise and glo­ry
Unto all eternity,
Telling ev­er­more the story
How His blood saved me.
