11589. Keep Me Under The Blood

1 Thou my ransom price hast paid,
Blessèd Son of God;
Since on Thee my heart is stayed,
Keep me under the blood.

Refrain:
Keep me under the blood, dear Lord,
Calvary’s crimson flood;
Not mine own, but Thine alone,
Keep me under the blood.

2 At the cross where first I knelt,
Full of sinful pride,
Where I first salvation felt,
Let me still abide. [Refrain]

3 Where to self and sin I died,
Where the nails were driv’n,
Let me still for cleansing hide
In Thy dear side riv’n. [Refrain]

4 Shouting with my latest breath
Praises to our God,
Who my soul has saved and kept
By His precious blood. [Refrain]
