1 Oh, the blood of Jesus,
Oh, the blood of Jesus,
Oh, the blood of Jesus,
it must not suffer loss.

Oh, the word of Jesus,
Oh, the word of Jesus,
it cleanses white as snow.

There is power, power,
Wonder working pow'r,
In the blood of the Lamb.
There is power, power,
Wonder working pow'r,
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

Oh, the love of Jesus,
Oh, the love of Jesus,
it makes His body whole. [Refrain]
