108. Oh Precious Blood, on Calvary Shed

L.M.
1
Oh precious blood, on Calvary shed
 
For sinful souls in trespass dead!
 
Oh crimson flood that makes a path
 
Of sure escape from coming wrath!
 
Oh precious blood! Oh living way,
 
By which the chief of sinners may,
 
Accepted stand before his God!
 
Oh precious, reconciling blood!
2
Oh precious blood! The peace divine
 
The cross has purchased now is mine;
 
No more of judgment then afraid
 
Since all my guilt on Christ was laid.
3
Oh precious blood! The subtle foe
 
Its all-prevailing power shall know
 
As saints o’ercome him by its might,
 
And silence every voice of night.
4
Oh precious blood! The ransomed throng
 
Extols its worth in thrilling song;
 
And seated on the throne is He
 
Whose precious blood atoned for me.
