When I See the Blood
John Foote, 19th Century
"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." -Hebrews 9:22
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."Chorus:
"When I see the blood, When I see the blood,
When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass over you.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."Chorus:
"When I see the blood, When I see the blood,
When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass over you.Judgment is coming, all will be there,
Each one receiving justly his due;
Hide in the saving, sin cleansing blood,
And "I will pass, will pass over you."Chorus:
"When I see the blood, When I see the blood,
When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass over you.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."Chorus:
"When I see the blood, When I see the blood,
When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass over you.God.
