Author: Harry D. Loes Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #272 (1980) First Line: A sinner, lost, condemned was I Refrain First Line: 'Twas Jesus' blood that ransomed me Lyrics: 1 A sinner, lost, condemned was I,
Doomed an eternal death to die;
But Jesus died for me,
He bore sin's penalty;
On Calv'ry's hill was lifted high.
Chorus:
'Twas Jesus' blood that ransomed me,
From chains of sin He set me free.
While ages roll, my song shall be:
'Twas Jesus' blood that ransomed me.
2 I ne'er could be at peace with God,
But for the cleansing, crimson flood,
No one but Christ would win
Atonement for all sin--
He signed my pardon with His blood. (Chorus)
3 No doubter's scorn or creed of man
Can shake my faith in Calv'ry's plan;
His blood redeemed my soul,
It made me pure and whole;
By faith my life in Him began. (Chorus) Topics: Christ Blood; Christ Blood Scripture: Matthew 20:28 Languages: English Tune Title: [A sinner, lost, condemned was I]

1895 - 1965 Person Name: Harry D. Loes Author of "Twas Jesus' Blood" in Hymns of Faith Pseudonyms:

Born Harold Loes, the American gospel song writer took the middle name Dixon in honour of A. C. Dixon, the pastor of Moody Church at the time. Harry Dixon Loes studied at Moody Bible Institute, and after extensive training in music he served a number of churches with a ministry of music. From 1939 until his retirement he was a member of the music faculty of Moody Bible Institute. He wrote the lyrics for 1,500 gospel songs, and composed 3,000 tunes.
One day in 1915, Paul Rader preached a sermon in Moody Church, in Chicago. His theme was, “All that I want is in Jesus.” In the congregation was young Harry Dixon Loes, then a senior at Moody Bible Institute, where he would eventually teach. Inspired by Dr. Rader’s message, Harry Loes wrote the words and music for a song he called "All Things in Jesus." It was first sung by the church’s youth group.
Friends all around me are trying to find
What the heart yearns for, by sin undermined;
I have the secret, I know where ’tis found:
Only true pleasures in Jesus abound.
All that I want is in Jesus.
He satisfies, joy He supplies;
Life would be worthless without Him;
All things in Jesus I find.
Some carry burdens whose weight has for years
Crushed them with sorrow and blinded with tears.
Yet One stands ready to help them just now,
If they will humbly in penitence bow.

==================
Harry Dixon Loes was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on October 20, 1892. After serving several churches as music director and later being active for more than twelve years in evangelist work, he joined the music faculty of Moody Bible Institute, in 1939, where he remained as a popular music teacher until his death in 1965. Mr. Loes was the writer of numerous gospel songs and choruses.
One day, while listening to a sermon on the subject of Christ's atonement entitled “Blessed Redeemer,” Mr. Loes was inspired to compose this tune. He then sent the melody with the suggested title to Mrs. Christiansen, a friend for many years, asking her to write the text. The hymn first appeared in Songs of Redemption, compiled by Marin and Jelks, in 1920, and published by the Baptist Home Mission Board, Atlanta, Georgia.
