The pre¤cious blood of Je¤¤sus
Is now my on¤ly ¤plea.
No glit¤t’ring gold could ev¤¤er
Re¤deem and ran¤som ¤me.
His side was torn and riv¤¤en,
Forth from His heart there ¤flowed
A crim¤son fount for cleans¤¤ing,
When bear¤ing sin’s great ¤load.

Chorus:
The pre¤cious blood of Je¤¤sus
Re¤deems and ran¤soms ¤me,
The bless¤ed Lamb of Heav¤¤en,
The Lord a¤lone shall ¤be.

The pre¤cious blood of Je¤¤sus
I need each pass¤ing ¤day,
So prone my feet to wan¤¤der
Far from the nar¤row ¤way,
Sweet thought in midst of con¤¤flict
Serves as a sa¤cred ¤cord,
The Sav¤iour bled and suf¤¤fered,
That He might be my ¤Lord.

None oth¤er Lord could ev¤¤er
Thus live for me and ¤die
Up¤on the tree of sor¤¤row,
Be¤twixt the earth and ¤sky.
When chill of death is near¤¤ing,
This shall my fears al¤¤lay,
Thy blood is all pre¤vail¤¤ing,
Dear Lord, my hope and ¤stay.
