Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: Songs of Praise and Salvation #96 (1902) First Line: A present and perfect salvation I have Refrain First Line: He saves me just now, hallelujah Lyrics: 1 A present and perfect salvation I have
In Jesus my Saviour
For he is abundantly able to save
Both now and forever.
Refrain:
He saves me just now, hallelujah!
The past is all under the blood,
And Calvary’s flow makes me whiter than snow,
The past is all under the blood.
2 The blood of the Lamb cleanseth now from all sin,
Than snow makes me whiter;
The Comforter promised abideth within,
My path growing brighter. [Refrain]
3 The burden of guilt which so long I had borne,
In weight like a mountain;
The sins which had caused me so often to mourn,
All lost in the fountain. [Refrain]
4 He leads me so gently the way I should go,
My wonderful Keeper;
And gives sweetest comfort the world cannot know,
My peace growing deeper. [Refrain]
5 I’m lost and encompassed with wonderful love,
Though nothing I merit;
A beautiful mansion preparing above,
I soon shall inherit. [Refrain] Tune Title: [A present and perfect salvation I have]
The Past is All Under the Blood
