Lyrics

We’re saved by the blood
That was drawn from the side
Of Je­sus our Lord,
When He lang­uished and died.

Refrain

Hallelujah to God,
For re­demp­tion so free;
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Dear Sav­ior, to Thee.

O yes, ’tis the blood
Of the Lamb that was slain;
He con­quered the grave,
And He liv­eth again.

Refrain

We’re saved by the blood;
We are sealed by its pow­er;
’Tis life to the soul,
And is hope eve­ry hour.

Refrain

That blood is a fount
Where the vil­est may go
And wash till their souls
Shall be whit­er than snow.

Refrain

We’re saved by the blood,
Hallelujah again;
We’re saved by the blood,
Hallelujah, Amen.
