Lyrics

Thro’ the sac­ri­fice of Je­sus the Lamb,
Thro’ the blood full atone­ment is made,
He has car­ried all our bur­dens of sor­row,
And on Him our trans­gress­ions were laid.

Refrain

There is peace thro’ the blood,
Thro’ the pre­cious blood He of­fers so free;
There is peace thro’ the blood,
O that pre­cious blood is flow­ing for me.

Thro’ the sac­ri­fice of Je­sus the Lamb,
Thro’ the blood of the Lamb that was slain,
We are res­cued from our bond­age for­ev­er,
And the way of re­demp­tion is plain.

Refrain

Thro’ the sac­ri­fice of Je­sus the Lamb,
Unto all who re­pent and be­lieve,
What a com­fort in the pro­mise He left us—
Thro’ the blood we may par­don re­ceive.

Refrain

As in Ad­am we are rui­ned and lost,
So in Christ shall our life be re­stored,
And the Fa­ther in His mer­cy will own us
Thro’ the blood of our cru­ci­fied Lord.
