216. Precious Blood

1 The cross! the cross! the blood-stained cross!
The hallow'd cross I see,
Reminding me of precious blood
That once was shed for me.

Chorus:
O the blood! the precious blood!
That Jesus shed for me
Upon the cross in crimson flood,
Just now by faith I see.

2 A thousand, thousand fountains spring
Up from the throne of God;
But none to me such blessings bring
As Jesus' precious blood. [Chorus]

3 By faith that blood now sweeps away
My sins, as like a flood;
Nor lets one guilty blemish stay;
All praise to Jesus' blood! [Chorus]
