Lyrics

Do you seek re­lief for your sin-sick soul?
You to Christ, then, must make ap­peal,
There’s no oth­er one who can make you whole,
You must come where the blood can heal!

Refrain

You must come where the blood can heal,
You must come where the blood can heal,
There’s no oth­er one who can make you whole,
You must come where the blood can heal!

Vain are all your hopes of ano­ther cure,
Be per­suad­ed, you now, to feel,
Help alone, thro’ Christ, that you can se­cure,
You must come where the blood can heal!

Refrain

Other prof­fered aids can but you de­ceive,
At your will, un­to life, they steal!
You must look to Christ if you’d hope re­ceive,
You must come where the blood can heal!

Refrain

Hear you not? ’tis there a de­coy­ing voice,
Striving ever, to quench thy zeal,
Would you from Him turn, re­fuge safe to find,
You must come where the blood can heal!

Refrain

If you would arise from your bed of pain,
To the coun­sel of Christ then kneel,
’Tis pre­scribed by Him, and your on­ly hope,
You must come where the blood can heal!
