When I See the Blood

Hymn lyrics by John G. Foote,
Music by Elisha A. Hoffman
Verse 1
  • Christ our Redeemer died on the cross,
  • Died for the sinner, paid all his due.
  • All who receive Him need never fear,
  • Yes, He 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.
Verse 2
  • Chiefest of sinners, Jesus will save;
  • As He has promised, so He will do;
  • Oh, sinner, hear Him, trust in His Word,
  • Then He will pass, will pass over you.
Chorus
Verse 3
  • Judgment is coming, all will be there.
  • Who have rejected, who have refused?
  • Oh, sinner, hasten, let Jesus in,
  • Oh, He will pass, will pass over you.
Chorus
Verse 4
  • O great compassion! O boundless love!
  • Jesus hath power, Jesus is true;
  • All who believe are safe from the storm,
  • Oh, He will pass, will pass over you.
Chorus
