| 1 | As we’re sharing of the cup, |
| | | How can we restrain our praise; |
| | For the blood Thou shedd’st for us, |
| | | Worth of which none can appraise. |
| | O how precious is Thy blood! |
| | | All our problems it resolves; |
| | In Thine efficacious blood |
| | | All our care and fear dissolves. |
| 2 | It is by this blood of worth |
| | | The new testament was made; |
| | For this better covenant, |
| | | ’Tis a sure foundation laid. |
| | We have been redeemed by God, |
| | | Not with silver or with gold, |
| | But, Lord, with Thy precious blood, |
| | | Which Thy love doth e’er unfold. |
| 3 | For remission of our sins |
| | | Thou hast shed Thy cleansing blood. |
| | Which for us has fully met |
| | | All the righteous claims of God. |
| | Thou hast washed us from our sins |
| | | In Thy pow’rful purging blood; |
| | And our conscience purged by it, |
| | | Thus to serve the living God. |
| 4 | By Thy separating blood, |
| | | We have all been sanctified; |
| | ’Tis by Thy preserving blood |
| | | Holiness is testified. |
| | By Thy propitiating blood, |
| | | We have all been justified; |
| | ’Tis by Thy redeeming blood |
| | | God is fully satisfied. |
| 5 | Thru Thy blood shed on the cross, |
| | | We are reconciled to God, |
| | That the way to contact Him |
| | | May in peace by us be trod. |
| | By partaking of Thy blood, |
| | | We have Thine eternal life; |
| | In Thy blood and life received, |
| | | We have rest, free from all strife. |
| 6 | Now, in heav’n Thy sprinkled blood |
| | | Speaks for us of better things; |
| | Under its defending pow’r |
| | | We are kept from Satan’s stings. |
| | By Thine overcoming blood, |
| | | We defeat the enemy; |
| | Over our accuser thus, |
| | | We will have the victory. |
| 7 | Of Thy blood, for fellowship, |
| | | We commune with all Thy saints; |
| | Under its full covering, |
| | | Our freed spirit never faints. |
| | How can we exhaust, in words, |
| | | The account of Thy dear blood; |
| | We will need eternity |
| | | To declare its boundless good. |
