When God of old the way of life
Would teach to all His own
He placed them safe beyond the reach
Of death, by blood alone
By Christ, the sinless Lamb of God
The precious blood was shed
When He fulfilled God’s holy Word
And suffered in our stead
It is His Word, God’s precious Word
It stands forever true
When I the Lord shall see the blood
I will pass over you
O soul, for thee salvation thus
By God is freely giv’n
The blood of Christ atones for sin
And makes us meet for Heav’n
The wrath of God that was our due
Upon the Lamb was laid
And by the shedding of His blood
The debt for us was paid
It is His Word, God’s precious Word
It stands forever true
When I the Lord shall see the blood
I will pass over you
How calm the Judgment hour shall pass
To all who do obey
The Word of God, and trust the blood
And make that Word their stay!
It is His Word, God’s precious Word
It stands forever true
When I the Lord shall see the blood
I will pass over you
