 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.
