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.
