Precious Sav­ior, Thou hast saved me;
Thine, and on­ly Thine I am;
Oh! the cleans­ing blood has reached me,
Glory, glo­ry to the Lamb!

Glory, glo­ry, Je­sus saves me,
Glory, glo­ry to the Lamb!
Oh! the cleans­ing blood has reached me,

Long my yearn­ing heart was try­ing
To en­joy this per­fect rest;
But I gave all try­ing over;
Simply trust­ing, I was blest.

Feeling now the blood ap­plied;
Lying at the cleans­ing fount­ain,
Dwelling in my Sav­ior’s side.

Of sal­va­tion full and free.

Cleansed me from in­bred cor­rupt­ion,
Sanctified, and made me whole.

Glory to its cleans­ing pow­er!
Glory to the blood that keeps me!
Glory, glo­ry, ev­er­more!
