Lyrics

Jesus, see me at Thy feet,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me.
Thou alone my need canst meet,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me.

Refrain

No! No! No­thing do I bring,
But by faith I’m cling­ing
To Thy cross, O Lamb of God!
Nothing but Thy blood can save me.

See my heart, Lord, torn with grief,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me;
Me un­par­doned do not leave,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me.

Refrain

Dark, in­deed, the past has been,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me;
Yet in mer­cy take me in,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me.

Refrain

As I am, oh, hear me pray,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me;
I can come no other way,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me.

Refrain

All that I can do is vain,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me;
I can ne’er re­move a stain,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me.

Refrain

Lord, I cast my­self on Thee,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me;
From my guilt, oh, set me free,
Nothing but Thy blood can save me.
