The Blood of the Crucified One

lyricist: James McKim, 1910
Composer: Charles Gabriel

There is joy in the heart

Of the one who is saved

By the blood of the Cru­ci­fied One;

There is peace in the soul

Driving all doubts away

When we trust in the Cru­ci­fied One;

And we love all the world

When our will is the will

Of the Christ who for sin­ners hath died:

Then to Heav­en look up

Trust in God and ob­ey

As in Je­sus you sweet­ly con­fide.

Oh the blood of the Cru­ci­fied One

The pre­cious blood of Je­sus!

Making per­fect­ly whole

’Tis the hope of the soul

The pre­cious blood of Je­sus.

Oh

what joy it will be

My Re­deem­er to see

For I trust in the Cru­ci­fied One;

I shall sing with the an­gels

The song of the Lamb

At the last when life’s jour­ney is done;

For re­demp­tion’s com­plete

And God’s grace makes me whole

By the death of His in­fi­nite Son;

When the con­flict is o’er

On that heav­en­ly shore

I shall wor­ship the Cru­ci­fied One.

There’s no love that com­par­es

With God’s won­der­ful love

And Christ Je­sus for all doth atone;

God looked down from on high

From His throne in the sky

And

in pi­ty be­hold­ing His own

Saw His sheep gone as­tray—

Turned earth’s dark­ness to day

For our Sav­ior is great­er than all

And His mer­cy is free

There is par­don for me—

Oh

He hears ev­ery pe­ni­tent’s call!

Then re­joice

O my soul

In a dear Sav­ior’s love

From the bond­age of sin I am free;

It is glo­ry to walk

With my Sav­ior each day

And to feel there is par­don for me.

Oh

the joy and the peace

That obe­di­ence hath won!

Never tongue half the trans­port can sing;

Blest the soul that is free

Glad in God’s li­ber­ty

Shout the glo­ry of Je­sus our king!
