Lyrics

Praise the Lord for His sal­va­tion!
Sing His mer­cies full and free,
Saved by the blood of the Lamb;
’Tis the Chris­tian’s shout of tri­umph,
’Tis the con­trite sin­ner’s plea,
Saved by the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

Saved! saved by the blood of the Lamb;
Saved, saved by the blood of the Lamb;
He died in my place,
And He keeps me by His grace,
Saved by the blood of the Lamb.

There is now no con­dem­na­tion,
For He takes my sins away;
Saved by the blood of the Lamb;
In the com­fort of His Spir­it,
I am walk­ing day by day,
Saved by the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

Out of ev­ery tribe and na­tion,
There shall come a migh­ty throng,
Saved by the blood of the Lamb;
When be­fore the throne they ga­ther,
They shall lift the joy­ful song,
Saved by the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

In the house of ma­ny man­sions,
There’s a home for you and me,
Saved by the blood of the Lamb;
There we too shall join the chor­us
In love’s ev­er­last­ing key,
Saved by the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain
