PRECIOUS, precious blood of Jesus, Shed on Calvary; Shed for rebels, shed for sinners, Shed for me. Precious blood that hath redeemed us! All the price is paid; Perfect pardon now is offered, Peace is made. Precious, precious blood of Jesus, Let it make thee whole; Let it flow in mighty cleansing O'er thy soul. Though thy sins are red like crimson, Deep in scarlet glow, Jesus' precious blood can make them White as snow. Now the holiest with boldness We may enter in, For the open fountain cleanseth, From all sin. Precious blood! by this we conquer In the fiercest fight, Sin and Satan overcoming By its might. Precious, precious blood of Jesus, Ever flowing free! O believe it, O receive it, 'T is for thee! Precious blood, whose full atonement Makes us nigh to God! Precious blood, our song of glory, Praise and laud! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE, WAS CRUCIFIED, DEAD, AND BURIED by CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER THE MEANING OF THE LOOK by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING BETRAYAL by HESTER H.
