Author: Johannes Olearius; Rev. C. H. L. Schuette Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #77a (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ! Thy precious blood
Is to my soul the highest good:
Of all my sins a perfect cure,
It quickens me and makes me pure.
2 Thy blood, my spotless glorious dress,
Thy innocence, my righteousness:
Before my God I pardoned stand,
And enter, crowned, the heav'nly land.
3 Lord Jesus Christ, Thou Son of God!
My Throne of Grace, my Staff and Rod!
Thy precious blood, Thy quick'ning power
My spirit strengthen every hour.
4 Let me not draw my dying breath
In fear of Satan, hell, and death;
O Christ! let this my comfort be:
Thy blood from sin hath made me free! Topics: The Church Year Passion; Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: WEIMAR (Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend)
