Hymn of the Week: Saved by the Blood

After reading through this text, I noticed something: The number of exclamation points!

What God did to accomplish our salvation should indeed bring excitement to our hearts. We were not worthy of the "ransom" he paid for our "pardon." Be joyful that you are indeed "Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!" And if you are not, please accept His gift of salvation today.

The words were written by S. J. Henderson. The music was written by Daniel B. Towner, who also wrote the music for such hymns as At Calvary, My Anchor Holds, and Trust And Obey.

Saved by the Blood

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
Now ransomed from sin and a new work begun,
Sing praise to the Father and praise to the Son,
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Refrain

Glory, I’m saved! Glory, I’m saved!
My sins are all pardoned, my guilt is all gone!
Glory, I’m saved! Glory, I’m saved!
I am saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
The angels rejoicing because it is done;
A child of the Father, joint heir with the Son,
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Refrain

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
The Father He spake, and His will it was done;
Great price of my pardon, His own precious Son;
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Refrain

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
All hail to the Father, all hail to the Son,
All hail to the Spirit, the great Three in One!
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Refrain
