1. Would you be free from the burden of sin? There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood; Would you o'er evil a victory win? There's wonderful pow'r in the blood. 2. Would you be free from your passion and pride? There's pow'r in the blood; pow'r in the blood; Come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide; There's wonderful pow'r in the blood. 3. Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow? There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood: Sin stains are lost in the life-giving flow; There's wonderful pow'r in the blood. 4. Would you do service for Jesus your King? There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood; Would you live daily His praises to sing? There's wonderful pow'r in the blood. Chorus: There is pow'r, pow'r, Wonder-working pow'r In the blood of the Lamb; There is pow'r, pow'r, Wonder-working pow'r In the precious blood of the Lamb.
