When the Sav­ior came to dwell be­low
On the cross His won­drous love to show,
’Twas that all this bless­èd truth might know:
There is cleans­ing in the blood.

Refrain

There is cleans­ing in the blood, in the blood,
There is cleans­ing in the blood, in the blood;
All who in the Lord be­lieve,
Shall have life and joy and peace,
There is cleans­ing in the blood.

You have doubt­less heard it oft be­fore,
Yet the Spir­it comes to thee once more,
And re­peats the story o’er and o’er:
There is cleans­ing in the blood.

Refrain

’Twas for you the Lord was cru­ci­fied,
See His bleed­ing hands, His feet, His side;
’Twas for you He suf­fered thus and died:
There is cleans­ing in the blood.

Refrain

Hear and heed the Spir­it’s plead­ing voice,
Come! O come, and make the Lord your choice,
And this truth will make you to re­joice:
There is cleans­ing in the blood.

Refrain

Savior dear, to Thee my heart I bring;
Now accept my hum­ble of­fer­ing,
That with all Thy saved ones I may sing,
There is cleans­ing in the blood.
