Peace through the blood of His cross.
Colossians 1:20
Words: Fanny Crosby, in Devotional Songs, edited by Howard Doane et al. (New York: Biglow & Main, 1903), number 40.
Music: W. Howard Doane (🔊 pdf nwc).
Thro’ the sacrifice of Jesus the Lamb,
Thro’ the blood full atonement is made,
He has carried all our burdens of sorrow,
And on Him our transgressions were laid.
Refrain
There is peace thro’ the blood,
Thro’ the precious blood He offers so free;
There is peace thro’ the blood,
O that precious blood is flowing for me.
Thro’ the sacrifice of Jesus the Lamb,
Thro’ the blood of the Lamb that was slain,
We are rescued from our bondage forever,
And the way of redemption is plain.
Refrain
Thro’ the sacrifice of Jesus the Lamb,
Unto all who repent and believe,
What a comfort in the promise He left us—
Thro’ the blood we may pardon receive.
Refrain
As in Adam we are ruined and lost,
So in Christ shall our life be restored,
And the Father in His mercy will own us
Thro’ the blood of our crucified Lord.
