When I see the blood – Hymn
1. Christ our Redeemer died on the cross,
Died for the sinner, paid all his due.
Sprinkle your soul with the blood of the Lamb
And I will pass, will pass over you.
Refrain
When I see the blood, when I see the blood,
When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass over
you.
2. Chiefest of sinners, Jesus will save;
All He has promised, that He will do;
Wash in the fountain opened for sin
And I will pass, will pass over you.
Refrain
When I see the blood, when I see the blood,
When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass
over you.
3. O great compassion! O boundless love
O loving kindness, faithful and true;
Find peace and shelter under the blood,
And I will pass, will pass over you.
Refrain
When I see the blood, when I see the blood,
When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass
over you.
