There Is Cleansing in the Blood

lyricist: W. A. Wells, 1889
Composer: Peter Bilhorn

When the Sav­ior came to dwell be­low

On the cross His won­drous love to show

’Twas that all this bless­èd truth might know:

There is cleans­ing in the blood.

There is cleans­ing in the blood

in the blood

There is cleans­ing in the blood

in the blood;

All who in the Lord be­lieve

Shall have life and joy and peace

There is cleans­ing in the blood.

You have doubt­less heard it oft be­fore

Yet the Spir­it comes to thee once more

And re­peats the story o’er and o’er:

There is cleans­ing in the blood.

’Twas for you the Lord was cru­ci­fied

See His bleed­ing hands

His feet

His side;

’Twas for you He suf­fered thus and died:

There is cleans­ing in the blood.

Hear and heed the Spir­it’s plead­ing voice

Come! O come

and make the Lord your choice

And this truth will make you to re­joice:

There is cleans­ing in the blood.

Savior dear

to Thee my heart I bring;

Now accept my hum­ble of­fer­ing

That with all Thy saved ones I may sing

There is cleans­ing in the blood.
