Nothing but the Blood

266 Nothing but the Blood

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]

Interestingly, this hymn doesn't appear in any United Methodist/Methodist Episcopal hymnal until 1989!
