5. Words: Robert Lowry
Robert Lowry (1826-1899), Philadelphia, PA, Baptist, University of Lewisburg (later Bucknell University).

"I would rather preach a gospel sermon to an appreciative, receptive congregation than write a hymn" (Robert Lowry)

His works include the following.

6. Verse 1
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

7. Verse 2
This is all my hope and peace -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
