JESUS’ BLOOD

 

Jesus' blood gives God a basis

That He may for forgive;

That the persons who offended

Now may live.

Jesus’ blood shed at Golgotha

Where He was reviled,

Has effect that all things may be

Reconciled.

Jesus’ blood can cleanse the sinner,

Purging every sin,

That a life in joy and blessing

May begin.

Jesus’ blood was shed for sinners

That eternally

Those who trust may know God’s favour

Righteously.

Jesus’ blood sufficed to purchase

All who are redeemed:

God reveals how much its virtue

Is esteemed.

Jesus’ blood upon the leper,

Cleansed in power and grace,

Claims each one on whom the Spirit

Takes His place.
