The Old Story in Song ‎#28

28. Hallelujah for the Blood

1 Hallelujah for the blood, for the sin-cleansing fountain,
For the Lamb has been slain, and the ransom price paid;
Fully cancelled was the debt, when on Calvary’s mountain
All the sins of this world upon Jesus were laid.

Refrain:
There was no arm to save, there was no eye to pity,
Until Jesus our Saviour from Glory came down;
He was mighty to save, he was strong to deliver,
He has brought us salvation, a robe and a crown.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, sing the triumphant strain;
Hallelujah, for the blood and the Lamb that was slain.

2 Hallelujah for the blood; sing for joy, all ye nations,
And rejoice that the work of redemption is done,
Here is pardon free for all, and a perfect salvation
Thro’ the sin-cleansing blood of the Crucified One. [Refrain]

3 Hallelujah for the blood: hallelujah forever,
We shall sing it anew in the kingdom of God,
Where the anthems of delight shall be silent, no, never,
Evermore hallelujah for Christ and the blood. [Refrain]
