Author: Wm. McDonald Appears in 110 hymnals First Line: The cross! the blood-stain'd cross Refrain First Line: O the blood! the precious blood Lyrics: 1 The cross! that blood-stain’d cross!
The hallowed cross I see!
Reminding me of precious blood
That once was shed for me.
Refrain:
O the blood! the precious blood!
That Jesus shed for me,
Upon the cross in crimson flood,
Just now by faith I see.
2 A thousand fountains spring
Up from the throne of God;
But none to me such blessings bring
As Jesus' precious blood. [Refrain]
3 That blood my ransom paid,
While I in bondage stood;
On Jesus all my sins were laid,
He saved me with His blood. [Refrain]
4 This theme will best employ
My harp before my God,
And make all heav’n resound with joy,
For Jesus’ cleansing blood. [Refrain] Topics: Faith; Redemption Used With Tune: [The cross! the blood-stain'd cross]
