1. The cross! that blood-stain’d cross!
The hallowed cross I see!
Reminding me of precious blood
That once was shed for me.
Refrain:
O the blood! the precious blood!
That Jesus shed for me,
Upon the cross in crimson flood,
Just now by faith I see.
2. A thousand fountains spring
Up from the throne of God;
But none to me such blessings bring
As Jesus' precious blood.
3. That blood my ransom paid,
While I in bondage stood;
On Jesus all my sins were laid,
He saved me with His blood.
4. This theme will best employ
My harp before my God,
And make all heav’n resound with joy,
For Jesus’ cleansing blood.
