1 What would a helpless sinner do
Without the cleansing blood?
To bear his lost condition thro’
To an offended God?

Refrain:
O sinner, do not doubt, it,
You’ll not be sav’d without it,
There’s power in the blood alway,
To wash your ev’ry sin away;
O come in faith, believing,
And pardon, full, receiving,
Without a doubt, you’ll sing and shout,
“The blood saves today.”

2 “There is a fountain filled with blood”
Is just as true today,
And sinners yet “beneath its flood,
Wash all their sins away.” [Refrain]

3 It is the sinner’s hope and plea,
The Church’s cornerstone,
And saint and sinner both may see
Its pow’r and virtue shown. [Refrain]

4 The Christian knows its cleansing pow’r,
His sin-stain to remove;
The sinner may this very hour,
Consent its pow’r to prove. [Refrain]
