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.
