23. Nothing But Blood, the Precious Blood

1 Nothing but blood, the precious blood
Of Christ, can purge the soul from sin;
He freely gave the cleansing flood,
And all are saved who trust therein.

Refrain:
Above the silver and the gold,
And all the wealth of worlds untold,
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Is still the gift of love unpriced.

2 And they who would atonement buy,
With wealth or works, but build in vain;
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die,”
Except the blood has cleansed the stain. [Refrain]

3 Without the blood there cannot be
Remission from the guilt of sin;
But Calv’ry’s fount is flowing free
To any who will trust therein. [Refrain]

4 O, unsaved one, this word believe
“For the ungodly Jesus died,”
And thus, thro’ faith, the gift receive,
And “by the blood be justified.” [Refrain]
