The blood of Jesus Christ…cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:7
Words: Robert E. Winsett, Pentecostal Power, Complete (Fort Smith, Arkansas & Chattanooga, Tennessee: R. E. Winsett, 1912), number 239. The book states Winsett wrote verses 4–6, but does not identify the author of verses 1–3. Other song books suggest the anonymous lyricist may have been Hampton H. Sewell (1875–1938).
Music: “As sung by the St. Louis Assembly” (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know the composer, or the author of verses 1–3,
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.
