Sheet music

  1. 1What can wash away my sin?Nothing but the blood of Jesus;What can make me whole again?Nothing but the blood of Jesus.Oh, precious is the flowThat makes me white as snow;No other fount I know,Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  2. 2For my pardon, this I see-Nothing but the blood of Jesus;For my cleansing this my plea-Nothing but the blood of Jesus.Oh, precious is the flowThat makes me white as snow;No other fount I know,Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  3. 3Nothing can for sin atone-Nothing but the blood of Jesus;Naught of good that I have done-Nothing but the blood of Jesus.Oh, precious is the flowThat makes me white as snow;No other fount I know,Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  4. 4This is all my hope and peace–Nothing but the blood of Jesus;This is all my righteousness–Nothing but the blood of Jesus.Oh, precious is the flowThat makes me white as snow;No other fount I know,Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  5. 5Now by this I’ll overcome–Nothing but the blood of Jesus;Now by this I’ll reach my home–Nothing but the blood of Jesus.Oh, precious is the flowThat makes me white as snow;No other fount I know,Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  6. 6Glory! glory! thus I sing–Nothing but the blood of Jesus;All my praise for this I bring–Nothing but the blood of Jesus.Oh, precious is the flowThat makes me white as snow;No other fount I know,Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
