Dear Lord, how precious is Thy blood

Dear Lord

how precious is Thy blood

Of the New Testament!

By it God’s blessings we receive

And we with Him are blent.

“Tis by Thy blood we’ve been redeemed

And by it sanctified.

Now is our conscience free from sin

From dead works purified.

Better than Abel’s

now Thy blood

Speaks unto God for us.

Perfect redemption it provides

Meeting God’s righteousness.

Through the eternal Spirit

Thou

Offeredst Thyself to God.

This sacrifice can ne’er grow old;

Timeless is Thy dear blood.

’Tis by Thy blood we boldly come

Unto the throne of grace

Unto our God

the cov’nant new

And to the Holiest Place.

Lord

by Thy blood

God is obliged

His very Self to give;

He must receive us to Himself

And He in us must live.

Dear Lord

how precious is Thy blood

Of the New Testament!

By it God’s blessings we receive

And we with Him are blent.
