77. Lord Jesus Christ! Thy precious blood

1 Lord Jesus Christ! Thy precious blood
Is to my soul the highest good:
Of all my sins a perfect cure,
It quickens me and makes me pure.

2 Thy blood, my spotless glorious dress,
Thy innocence, my righteousness:
Before my God I pardoned stand,
And enter, crowned, the heav'nly land.

3 Lord Jesus Christ, Thou Son of God!
My Throne of Grace, my Staff and Rod!
Thy precious blood, Thy quick'ning power
My spirit strengthen every hour.

4 Let me not draw my dying breath
In fear of Satan, hell, and death;
O Christ! let this my comfort be:
Thy blood from sin hath made me free!
