The blood of Jesus Christ…cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John 1:7
Words & Music: Elisha A. Hoffman, in Triumphant Songs No. 5, by Edwin O. Excell (Chicago, Illinois: E. O. Excell, 1896), number 41 (🔊 pdf nwc).
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.
