114. Saved Through the Blood of Jesus

7.6.
1
Saved through the blood of Jesus,
 
Saved from the curse of sin,
 
Saved now to share Christ’s glory,
 
Are all who trust in Him.
 
Joy is among the angels,
 
And in the heart of God,
 
As each unworthy sinner
 
Trusts in the precious blood.
 
Saved through the blood of Jesus,
 
Perfect and only plea;
 
Naught else avails for sinners,
 
Naught else avails for me.
2
Saved through the blood of Jesus,
 
That great High Priest above,
 
Who bears them on His shoulders
 
And on His heart of love.
 
No lamb shall ever perish,
 
Entrusted to His care,
 
So those who trust in Jesus
 
Are saved from doubt and fear.
3
Saved in that only Refuge,
 
Where every soul may hide,
 
Saved from this world of evil,
 
With Christ they’re crucified;
 
Saved too from many a sorrow,
 
Saved from an aching heart,
 
Since Christ to all who trust Him
 
Will perfect peace impart.
4
Saved too to tell the story
 
To sinners everywhere,
 
To tell of Christ in glory,
 
Who bled and suffered here.
 
Saved now to wait with patience,
 
Looking by faith afar,
 
Till just before the dawning
 
Rises the Morning Star.
