1 Precious precious blood of Jesus,
Shed on Calvary,
Shed for rebels, shed for sinners,
Shed for me.

Chorus:
Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
Let it make thee whole;
Let it flow with mighty cleansing
O'er thy soul.

2 Precious blood that hath redeemed us,
All the price is paid,
Perfect pardon now is offered,
Peace is made. [Chorus]

3 Tho' thy sins are red like crimson,
Deep in scarlet glow,
Jesus’ precious blood can make them
White as snow. [Chorus]

4 Precious blood! this we conquer,
In the fairest fight;
Sin and Satan overcoming
By its might. [Chorus]

5 Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
Ever flowing free,
O believe it, O receive it,
'Tis for thee. [Chorus]
