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.
