Lyrics

I have found a pre­cious rest­ing place
In the shel­ter of re­deem­ing grace;
Here with joy I see my Sav­ior’s face,
Under the aton­ing blood.

Refrain

Under the aton­ing blood of the Lamb,
Under the aton­ing blood of the Lamb,
Safely I am hid­ing, con­stant­ly abid­ing,
Under the aton­ing blood.

Where shall I the praise of Christ be­gin?
Gone the hea­vy bur­den of my sin!
Grace has changed the world I’m liv­ing in,
Under the aton­ing blood.

Refrain

Evil shall not here my soul en­snare;
Tenderly I’m kept with jea­lous care.
Jesus walks be­side me ev­ery­where,
Under the aton­ing blood.

Refrain

Now its heal­ing pow­er makes me whole;
Through its mer­it Je­sus saves my soul.
Savior, keep me while the ag­es roll
Under the aton­ing blood.
