Have faith in the blood of the Crucified One,
For truly it banishes sin;
Your sins may be many, but soon shall be gone,
The fountain is waiting, step in.
Refrain
Have faith in the blood that banishes sin;
Come now to the soul-cleansing flood;
There’s cleansing for all who have faith to step in;
Have faith, oh, have faith in the blood.
Your Savior has died that your soul may be free,
His life-blood was given for you;
Oh, come to the fountain that cleansed you may be,
Let Jesus your spirit renew.
Refrain
So far from the right you have wandered away,
Come now, let your wandering cease;
The Lord will remove your transgressions today
And fill you with gladness and peace.
Refrain
Don’t wait till the gate of the fountain shall close
And shut you forever outside;
Oh, come to the Lord, on His bosom repose
And there, free and sinless, abide.
Refrain
