Lyrics

On Calv’ry’s cross the Sav­ior bled
And died, His love to show;
Thro’ Him eter­nal life I have,
The Spir­it tells me so.

Refrain

My soul is cleansed from in­bred sin,
And this is how I know;
The Spir­it an­swers to the blood,
And sure­ly tells me so.

The Word of God is strong and clear,
By this, His will I know;
But when His will is wrought in me,
The Spir­it tells me so.

Refrain

My heart now feels the sprin­kled blood
That wash­es white as snow;
My soul is cleansed from in­bred sin,
The Spir­it tells me so.

Refrain

Nothing dis­turbs my in­ward peace,
No dark or sec­ret foe;
The cleans­ing blood now makes me free,
The Spir­it tells me so.

Refrain

The streams of life from out my heart,
In rich abun­dance flow;
No sin pol­lutes the fount­ain deep,
The Spir­it tells me so.

Refrain

No tran­si­ent good al­lures my soul,
In world­ly paths to go;
I am the heir of end­less bliss,
The Spir­it tells me so.
