Lyrics

Washed in the blood, by the Spirit sealed,
Christ in His word is to me revealed;
Glory to God! in my soul doth shine
God, my salvation, and His life is mine!

Refrain

Washed in the blood, washed in the blood!
Washed in the blood, in the soul cleansing blood!
Washed in the blood, washed in the blood!
Sealed in the Spirit true, and washed in the blood.

Once I was blind, but behold, I see;
God from above now hath shined into me;
Cleansed from all sin, in His word I behold,
Wealth which can never be compared to gold.

Refrain

O that the world might the Savior see,
That blessèd Savior who saved poor me!
O how the lost ones would come shouting home,
Never, never, never, nevermore to roam!

Refrain

Washed in the blood! sinner, come today;
Jesus, so freely the debt will pay;
Come to His arms, to His arms of grace,
Come, now in meekness, seek the Savior’s face.
