369: PRECIOUS, precious blood of Jesus

369: PRECIOUS, precious blood of Jesus

by Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879)

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

2 Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
All the price is paid;
Perfect pardon now is offered,
Peace is made.

3 Precious, precious blood of Jesus,
Jesus, God's own Son,
Telling that the work is finished;
All is done.

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

5 Precious blood, whose full atonement
Bringeth us to God!
Precious blood, our song and glory,
Praise and laud!
