THE BLOOD UPON THE DOOR Lyrics

When the Lord passed over Egypt

There was weeping everywhere

For the angel smote the firstborn

Of each family dwelling there

But some houses He passed over

As His word had said before

And death entered not the portals

Where the blood was on the door

Precious blood upon the door

Saving blood upon the door

O, my soul, there is no danger

When the blood is on the door

We are in a land of danger

And death lurks on every hand

But that soul has perfect safety

Who obeys the Lord's command

For secure in God's pavilion

He can watch life's breakers roar

For God's angels guard that dwelling

Where the blood is on the door

Not the blood of lambs or cattle

Sprinkled over any part

But the blood of Christ the Savior

Can redeem a human heart

Then when death those ties shall sever

And we walk on earth no more

We may live with Christ forever

If His blood is on the door

Precious blood upon the door

Saving blood upon the door

O, my soul, there is no danger

When the blood is on the door
