A poem by Frances Ridley Havergal

The Precious Blood Of Jesus

________________________________________________
Title:     The Precious Blood Of Jesus
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal [More Titles by Havergal]

I.

PRECIOUS, precious blood of Jesus,
Shed on Calvary;
Shed for rebels, shed for sinners,
Shed for me.


II.

Precious blood, that hath redeemed us!
All the price is paid;
Perfect pardon now is offered,
Peace is made.


III.

Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
Let it make thee whole;
Let it flow in mighty cleansing
O'er thy soul.


IV.

Though thy sins are red like crimson,
Deep in scarlet glow,
Jesu's precious blood can make them
White as snow.


V.

Now the holiest with boldness
We may enter in,
For the open fountain cleanseth
From all sin.


VI.

Precious blood! by this we conquer
In the fiercest fight,
Sin and Satan overcoming
By its might.


VII.

Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
Ever flowing free!
O believe it, O receive it,
'Tis for thee!


VIII.

Precious blood, whose full atonement
Makes us nigh to God!
Precious blood, our song of glory,
Praise and laud!
