Lyrics

The blood that Je­sus shed for me
When groaning, dying on the tree,
From all trans­gress­ion cleanseth me,
And saves me through and through.

Refrain

Saved, saved, yes, I am saved,
My heart is created anew;
The blood of Je­sus cleanseth me,
And saves me through and through.

In perfect trust I now resign
My all to Him whose will is mine;
He fills my soul with love divine,
And saves me through and through.

Refrain

No angel tongue such praise can bring,
Nor learn the song that now I sing
To Him, my prophet, priest and king,
Who saves me through and through.

Refrain

I know not what my joy will be,
When face to face my Lord I see,
But this I know, He cleanseth me,
And saves me through and through.
