Sin no more, thy soul is free,
Christ has died to ran­som thee;
Now the pow­er of sin is o’er,
Jesus bids thee, Sin no more.

Refrain

Sin no more, thy soul is free,
Christ has died to ran­som thee;
Sing the mes­sage o’er and o’er,
Christ for­gives thee, Sin no more.

Sin no more, but close­ly keep
Near the Hand that guards the sheep;
Shun the snares that lured before,
Trembling go, and sin no more.

Refrain

Sin no more, His blood hath bought,
Think on what His love hath wrought;
Think of what for thee He bore,
Weeping, go, and sin no more.

Refrain

Sin no more, O sin no more,
Jesus lives to keep thee pure;
If o’er­tak­en He’ll re­store,
Saying, Go, and sin no more.
