Nothing But The Blood of Jesus is a traditional American hymn about the blood atonement and propitiation for sin by the death of Jesus as explained in Hebrews 9.[1][2] The song was composed by Robert Lowry, a hymn writer who was a Baptist minister and professor at Bucknell University.

The song was written in 1876 and first popularized at a camp meeting in Ocean Grove, New Jersey.[3][4] The song has been covered by many notable musicians including Randy Travis.[5]
