Lyrics

There is pow’r in the blood, now, to wash your soul;
There is pow’r in the blood to keep you whole;
There is pow’r in the blood to help you win;
There is pow’r in the blood to save from sin.

Refrain

Glory to the blood! Glo­ry to the blood
That was shed on Cal­va­ry;
It will keep you in the way, and will never let you stray;
There is pow’r in the blood.

There is pow’r in the blood to make you white,
There is pow’r in the blood to keep you right;
There is pow’r in the blood to lead you on;
There is pow’r in the blood of God’s dear Son.

Refrain

There is pow’r in the blood, its aton­ing grace;
There is pow’r in the blood for all the race;
There is pow’r in the blood, just look on high;
There is pow’r in the blood, ’tis draw­ing nigh.

Refrain

There is pow’r in the blood, plunge be­neath its wave;
There is pow’r in the blood to keep and save;
There is pow’r in the blood, be firm and true;
There is pow’r in the blood to help, yes, you.

Refrain
