 1  Dear Lord, how precious is Thy blood,

       Of the New Testament!

    By it God's blessings we receive,

       And we with Him are blent.

 

 2  'Tis by Thy blood we've been redeemed,

       And by it sanctified.

    Now is our conscience free from sin,

       From dead works purified.

 

 3  Better than Abel's, now Thy blood

       Speaks unto God for us.

    Perfect redemption it provides,

       Meeting God's righteousness.

 

 4  Through the eternal Spirit, Thou

       Offeredst Thyself to God.

    This sacrifice can ne'er grow old;

       Timeless is Thy dear blood.

 

 5  'Tis by Thy blood we boldly come

       Unto the throne of grace,

    Unto our God, the cov'nant new,

       And to the Holiest Place.

 

 6  Lord, by Thy blood, God is obliged

       His very Self to give;

    He must receive us to Himself,

       And He in us must live.

 

 7  Dear Lord, how precious is Thy blood

       Of the New Testament!

    By it God's blessings we receive,

       And we with Him are blent.
