About this Hymn
Under most circumstances blood is anything but clean. In medical terms it is a biohazard, a carrier of disease. In household terms it is difficult to remove from clothing. But the Bible speaks of something astounding—people's washing robes in blood and making them pure white (Rev. 7:14). Only the blood of Christ has the power to cleanse (Eph. 1:7). Praise be to God for this incredible gift.
Lyrics
Verse 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.
Chorus
Oh! precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know,
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Verse 2
Nothing can for sin atone,
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
naught of good that I have done,
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Verse 3
This is all my hope and peace,
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
this is all my righteousness,
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Verse 4
Glory! Glory! This I sing:
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
all my praise for this I bring,
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
what can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Chorus
Oh! precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know,
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Verse 2
Nothing can for sin atone,
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
naught of good that I have done,

This is all my hope and peace,
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
this is all my righteousness,
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Verse 4
Glory! Glory! This I sing:
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
all my praise for this I bring,
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
