Words by John G. Foote, 1892 alternate by E. A. H., 1909Tune: WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD, John G. Foote, 1892Key signature: C major (no sharps or flats)Time signature: 4/4Public Domain1. 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.Refrain: When I see the blood, When I see the blood, When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass over you.2. Chiefest of sinners, Jesus will save; As He has promised, that He will do; Wash in the fountain opened for sin, And I will pass, will pass over you.3. 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.4. 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.
