Nothing but blood, the precious blood
Of Christ, can purge the soul from sin;
He freely gave the cleansing flood,
And all are saved who trust therein.

Above the silver and the gold,
And all the wealth of worlds untold,
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Is still the gift of love unpriced,
Of love unpriced.

It was redemption’s pledge of old
Salvation’s token sent from heaven;
God said, "When I the blood behold,
It stands for peace and sins forgiven!"

Nor name, nor character will count,
For sin is purged by blood alone,
And Jesu’s veins supplied the fount,
The only stream that can atone.

And they who would atonement buy
With wealth or works, but build in vain;
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die,"
Except the blood has cleansed the stain.

Without the blood there cannot be
Remission from the guilt of sin,
But Calvary’s fount is flowing free
To any who will trust therein.

Unsaved one, now this word believe:
"For the ungodly Jesus died,"
And thus, through faith, the gift receive,
And "by the blood be justified."
