Lyrics

Jesus, Thy blood, Thy precious blood,
For my sin doth atone;
Because Thou art the Lamb of God,
It speaks before the throne.
Thy blood shall have its praises sung
By yonder white robed throng;
All hail then to this precious blood,
By me in ceaseless song.

Refrain

Jesus, Thy blood, Thy precious blood,
Thy blood, it cleanseth me!

Jesus, Thy name, Thy glo­ri­ous name!
When shall I know its worth?
It needs of heav’nly fire a flame,
Its glories to show forth.
Thy name, high over every name,
Shall yet acknowledged be
By angels, seraphs, and by men
On humbly bended knee.

Refrain

Jesus, Thy Word, Thy gracious Word!
Most welcome news to me!
Oh, teach me by Thy Spi­rit, Lord,
In it Thy­self to see.
More glo­ri­ous than Thy name, O Lord,
Thy Word will magnify;
Thy Word makes known Thy name, Thy blood,
Brings all their blessings nigh.

Refrain

More precious still than all of these,
Art Thou Thy­self to me,
God manifest in Christ the Lord—
Oh, what will Hea­ven be!
When all the blood-washed, glorified
Shall see Thee as Thou art,
Who by Thy Word were sanctified,
All one in name and heart.
