Lyrics

O that I might now know Thy love,
The riches of Thy grace so free;
That I with all Thy saints might prove,
There’s cleans­ing in the blood for me.

Refrain

There’s cleans­ing in the blood,
There’s cleans­ing in the blood;
Just now I claim the pro­mise mine,
There’s cleans­ing in the blood for me.

O cleanse me from the car­nal mind,
And grant that I may vic­tor be;
And help me now, O Lord, to find
There’s cleans­ing in the blood for me.

Refrain

The world I now for­ev­er leave,
And con­se­crate my­self to Thee;
I come in faith, for I be­lieve
There’s cleans­ing in the blood for me.

Refrain

No more I strug­gle with my sin;
No more am I by Sa­tan bound;
No more doth ev­il reign with­in,
For cleans­ing in the blood I’ve found.

Refrain

I’ll give the glo­ry, Lord, to Thee,
And ev­er­more Thy prais­es sound;
For grace and pow­er and vic­to­ry
And cleans­ing in the blood abound.
