The Blood of Jesus

The blood of Je­sus! catch the strain

Ye roy­al sons of truth;

And let the theme pro­claim His reign

Fresh with eter­nal youth;

The blood of Je­sus! grand­er grows

This won­drous song of love

Until the heart with rap­ture flows

And joins the harps above.

The blood of Je­sus! O ye choirs

Before the Fa­ther’s throne

With glad­ness touch your trem­bling lyres

And make His glo­ries known;

The blood of Je­sus! high­er still

The charm­ing an­them raise

And let its gran­deur sweet­ly fill

The uni­verse of praise.

The blood of Je­sus! O ye band

Of saints re­deemed ab­ove

No an­gel in that heav­en­ly land

Can sing your song of love;

The blood of Je­sus! join the lay

Ye pil­grims here be­low

Till

in the realms of per­fect day

The glad new song ye know.
