Lyrics

I have per­fect peace to­day,
All my sins are washed away;
Hiding ’neath the crim­son blood,
I am re­con­ciled to God.

Refrain

Under the blood, un­der the blood,
Pardon and clean­sing
I found un­der the blood;
Under the blood, un­der the blood,
There I for­ev­er
Will hide, un­der the blood.

What a work the Lord has done!
What a work of grace be­gun!
All my sins are co­vered o’er;
He re­mem­bers them no more.

Refrain

Wondrous is God’s grace to me,
Making me for­ev­er free,
Sanctifying me to God,
Thro’ the all pre­vail­ing blood.

Refrain

So in glad­ness I go on,
Till the Mas­ter’s work is done,
Trusting in aton­ing blood,
Walking in the love of God.
