1 There is wonder-working pow’r in the precious blood,
There is pow’r in the blood;
It will cleanse from ev’ry sin,
It will make you pure within,
There is pow’r in the blood.

Chorus:
Wonderful pow’r in the blood,
There is perfect cleansing pow’r in the precious blood;
Wonderful pow’r in the blood,
There is wonder-working pow’r in the blood.

2 Praise the Father and the Son for the sacrifice;
There is pow’r in the blood;
That was made for you and me,
That from sin we might be free,
There is pow’r in the blood. [Chorus]

3 When we at the judgment stand blood will be our plea;
There is pow’r in the blood;
There’s no other way I know,
But this precious crimson flow,
There is pow’r in the blood. [Chorus]

4 O our Savior’s precious blood flowed for all the world;
There is pow’r in the blood;
‘Tis salvation’s wondrous plan,
That was made for ev’ry man,
There is pow’r in the blood. [Chorus]

5 Whosoever will may come to this precious blood;
There is pow’r in the blood;
Sinner, do not longer wait,
For the judgment seals thy fate,
There is pow’r in the blood. [Chorus]
