Author: John Foote, 19th century Appears in 238 hymnals First Line: Christ our Redeemer died on the cross Lyrics: 1 Christ our Redeemer died on the cross,
Died for the sinner, paid all his due;
Sprinkle your soul with the blood of the Lamb,
And "I will pass, will pass over you."
Chorus:
"When I see the blood,
When I see the blood,
When I see the blood,
I will pass, I will pass over you."
2 Chiefest of sinners, Jesus will save -
As He has promised, that He will do;
Wash in the fountain opened for sin,
And "I will pass, will pass over you." [Chorus]
3 Judgment is coming, all will be there,
Each one receiving justly his due;
Hide in the saving sin-cleasing blood,
And "I will pass, will pass over you." [Chorus]
4 O great compassion! O boundless love!
O loving kindness, faithful and true!
Find peace and shelter under the blood,
And I will pass, will pass over you. [Chorus] Topics: Blood of Christ; Cleansing and Forgiveness; Salvation Used With Tune: [Christ our Redeemer died on the cross]
