263. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus

1 What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2 For my pardon this I see–
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing, this my plea–
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Nothing can for sin atone–
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done–
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

4 This is all my hope and peace–
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness–
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]
