1 For my sins is pardon found,
In the blood;
There is balm for ev’ry wound
In the blood;
Sinful souls, by grief oppressed,
Come to Christ and be at rest,
Thro’ the blood, thro’ the cleaning blood.

Refrain:
In the blood of the Lamb
There is pardon full and free,
There is hope for you and me;
In the blood of the Lamb
Who was slain on Calvary.

2 Here we learn that God is love,
Thor’ the blood;
Sending mercy from above,
Thro’ the blood;
Taking all our gloom away,
Turning night to brightest day,
Thro’ the blood, thro’ the precious blood. [Refrain]

3 There is hope for all mankind,
In the blood;
There is sight for sinful blind,
In the blood,
For the hearts in deep despair
There is sweetest solace there,
In the blood, in the healing blood. [Refrain]
