Verse 1
O precious blood, O glorious death,
By which the sinner lives!
When stung by sin this blood we view,
And all our joy revives.
Verse 2
The blood that purchased our release,
And purged our crimson stains,
We challenge earth and hell to show
A sin it cannot cleanse.
Verse 3
Our scarlet crimes are made as wool,
And we brought nigh to God;
Thanks to that wrath-appeasing death,
That heaven-procuring blood.
Verse 4
The blood that makes His glorious Church
From every blemish free;
And O the riches of His love!
He poured it out for me.
Verse 5
The Father's everlasting love,
And Jesus' precious blood,
Shall be our endless themes of praise
In yonder blest abode.
Verse 6
In patience let us then possess
Our souls till He appear;
Our Head already is in heaven,
And we shall soon be there
