Lyrics

Come from the loath­some way of sin,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Come, for the Lord will take you in,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.

Refrain

O hide you in the blood,
For the storms are rag­ing high,
O hide you in the blood,
Till the dan­gers pass you by.

Come to the shel­ter’s safe re­treat,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Come, for the storms around you beat,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.

Refrain

Come, for your sins the Lord has bled,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Come, tho’ they be like crim­son red,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.

Refrain

Come to the Lord, He’s call­ing thee,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Come, let His Spir­it set you free,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.

Refrain

Come, there is safe­ty in the blood,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Now plunge be­neath the crim­son flood,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.

Refrain

Come, now be­liev­ing in the Lord,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus;
Trusting His grace and pre­cious Word,
Hide you in the blood of Je­sus.
