237. What Can Wash Away My Sin?

1 What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain:
O! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2 For my pardon, this I see--
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea--
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. (Refrain)

3 Nothing can for sin atone--
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done--
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. (Refrain)

4 This is all my hope and peace--
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness--
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. (Refrain)
