As we’re sharing of the cup

As we’re sharing of the cup

How can we restrain our praise;

For the blood Thou shedd’st for us

Worth of which none can appraise.

O how precious is Thy blood!

All our problems it resolves;

In Thine efficacious blood

All our care and fear dissolves.

It is by this blood of worth

The new testament was made;

For this better covenant

’Tis a sure foundation laid.

We have been redeemed by God

Not with silver or with gold

But

Lord

with Thy precious blood

Which Thy love doth e’er unfold.

For remission of our sins

Thou hast shed Thy cleansing blood.

Which for us has fully met

All the righteous claims of God.

Thou hast washed us from our sins

In Thy pow’rful purging blood;

And our conscience purged by it

Thus to serve the living God.

By Thy separating blood

We have all been sanctified;

’Tis by Thy preserving blood

Holiness is testified.

By Thy propitiating blood

We have all been justified;

’Tis by Thy redeeming blood

God is fully satisfied.

Thru Thy blood shed on the cross

We are reconciled to God

That the way to contact Him

May in peace by us be trod.

By partaking of Thy blood

We have Thine eternal life;

In Thy blood and life received

We have rest

free from all strife.

Now

in heav’n Thy sprinkled blood

Speaks for us of better things;

Under its defending pow’r

We are kept from Satan’s stings.

By Thine overcoming blood

We defeat the enemy;

Over our accuser thus

We will have the victory.

Of Thy blood

for fellowship

We commune with all Thy saints;

Under its full covering

Our freed spirit never faints.

How can we exhaust

in words

The account of Thy dear blood;

We will need eternity

To declare its boundless good.
