| 1. I have found
a precious resting place
In the shelter
of redeeming grace;
Here with joy I see
my Savior’s face,
Under the atoning blood.
Refrain.
Under the atoning blood
of the Lamb,
Under the atoning blood
of the Lamb,
Safely I am hiding,
constantly abiding,
Under the atoning blood.
2. Where shall I the praise
of Christ begin?
Gone the heavy
burden of my sin!
Grace has changed
the world I’m living in,
Under the atoning blood.
Refrain.
Under the atoning blood
of the Lamb,
Under the atoning blood
of the Lamb,
Safely I am hiding,
constantly abiding,
Under the atoning blood.
3. Evil shall not here
my soul ensnare;
Tenderly I’m kept
with jealous care.
Jesus walks
beside me everywhere,
Under the atoning blood.
Refrain.
Under the atoning blood
of the Lamb,
Under the atoning blood
of the Lamb,
Safely I am hiding,
constantly abiding,
Under the atoning blood.
4. Now its healing power
makes me whole;
Through its merit
Jesus saves my soul.
Savior, keep me
while the ages roll
Under the atoning blood.
Refrain.
Under the atoning blood
of the Lamb,
Under the atoning blood
of the Lamb,
Safely I am hiding,
constantly abiding,
Under the atoning blood.
