Lyrics

The Sav­ior died on Cal­va­ry;
Saved through the blood of the Lamb;
He gave His life for you and me;
Saved through the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

Salvation free for you and me
Saved through the blood of the Lamb;
His child for­ev­er I will be;
Saved through the blood of the Lamb.

The pre­cious blood, how great the cost!
Saved through the blood of the Lamb;
Without it you’re for­ev­er lost;
Saved through the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

The pre­cious blood, so free­ly giv’n;
Saved through the blood of the Lamb;
The pro­mised way from earth to Heav’n;
Saved through the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

Then come to­night, and trust its pow­er;
Saved through the blood of the Lamb;
You may be saved this ve­ry hour;
Saved through the blood of the Lamb.
