What Can Make Me Whole Again Hymn

Representative Text

1 What can wash away my sin?
Nothing simply the claret of Jesus.
What tin can make me whole once more?
Nada but the claret of Jesus.

Refrain:
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snowfall;
no other fount I know;
cipher but the blood of Jesus.

2 For my pardon this I come across:
zero but the blood of Jesus.
For my cleansing this my plea:
nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Nothing tin for sin atone:
nothing simply the blood of Jesus.
Naught of good that I have done:
nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

4 This is all my hope and peace:
cipher but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my righteousness:
nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

When this hymn was first published in 1876, Hebrews ix:22 was quoted underneath the title: "Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin." This vocal elaborates on that idea, repeatedly stating that "nothing just the blood of Jesus" purifies us. The third stanza acknowledges that "zilch of proficient that I have washed" can relieve. Equally the hymn is sung, contemplate the significance of sin in separating us from God, and the great value of Jesus's work on the cross.

Text:

This text was written by Robert Lowry in 1876, before long after he became pastor of a Baptist church in Plainfield, New Jersey, where he lived the rest of his life. Information technology was first published in that year in Gospel Hymns by William H. Doane and Lowry, with Hebrews nine:22 quoted underneath the title.

There were originally six stanzas, simply typically simply the start 4 are sung today. The two that are non used brainstorm "Now by this I'll overcome" and "Glory! Celebrity! This I sing." The theme of the text is the redemptive work of Christ on the cantankerous, seen through the image of His shed blood. The stanzas express the need for redemption from sin, and the matchless value of Jesus's redeeming claret.

Tune:

PLAINFIELD is a simple, pentatonic melody. It was written by Robert Lowry in 1876 for this text, with which it is inseparably paired. The name of the tune comes from the boondocks where Lowry was probably living when he wrote information technology. Repeated notes and motifs and a narrow range of a fifth make this tune a very like shooting fish in a barrel one for congregational singing.

When/Why/How:

This hymn may be sung at any time of twelvemonth, especially when redemption is a theme of the service. This simple hymn could also be used in children's classes to teach that Jesus is the only source of redemption from sin. Try singing the stanzas in a telephone call-and-response style, with the leader singing the first and tertiary lines, and the children responding with "Goose egg simply the blood of Jesus." This hymn works well for congregational singing, simply an instrumental organisation would make a good pick for Communion music, such equally "Cipher but the Blood," a handbell setting that emphasizes the simplicity of the melody. "The Power of His Blood" is a choral medley of three gospel hymns with the theme of Jesus' redeeming blood. The other ii are "Are You Done in the Blood?" and "There Is Power in the Blood." The rhythm is upbeat, which tin exist accentuated by an optional instrumental ensemble.
