1 When the Savior came to dwell below
On the cross His wondrous love to show,
’Twas that all this blessèd truth might know:
There is cleansing in the blood.

Refrain:
There is cleansing in the blood, in the blood,
There is cleansing in the blood, in the blood;
All who in the Lord believe,
Shall have life and joy and peace,
There is cleansing in the blood.

2 You have doubtless heard it oft before,
Yet the Spirit comes to thee once more,
And repeats the story o’er and o’er:
There is cleansing in the blood. [Refrain]

3 ’Twas for you the Lord was crucified,
See His bleeding hands, His feet, His side;
’Twas for you He suffered thus and died:
There is cleansing in the blood. [Refrain]

4 Hear and heed the Spirit’s pleading voice,
Come! O come, and make the Lord your choice,
And this truth will make you to rejoice:
There is cleansing in the blood. [Refrain]

5 Savior dear, to Thee my heart I bring;
Now accept my humble offering,
That with all Thy saved ones I may sing,
There is cleansing in the blood. [Refrain]
