The Old Story in Song ‎#156

156. Keep Me Under the Blood

1 Thou my ransom price hast paid,
Blessed 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]
