Precious Blood. 1 Pet. 1. 19

Joseph Irons C.M.

What sacred Fountain yonder springs
Up from the throne of God,
And all new covenant blessings brings?
’Tis Jesus’ precious blood.

What mighty sum paid all my debt,
When I a bondman stood,
And has my soul at freedom set?
’Tis Jesus’ precious blood.

What stream is that which sweeps away
My sins just like a flood,
Nor lets one guilty blemish stay?
’Tis Jesus’ precious blood.

What voice is that which speaks for me
In heaven’s high court for good,
And from the curse has set me free?
’Tis Jesus’ precious blood.

What theme, my soul, shall best employ
Thy harp before thy God,
And make all heaven to ring with joy?
’Tis Jesus’ precious blood.
