Trinity Psalter Hymnal ‎#278

278. Nothing but the Blood

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 cleansing this I see:
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
for my pardon 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]

5 Now by this I'll overcome:
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
now by this I'll reach my home:
nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]
