"There Is Power in the Blood" is a hymn written in 1899 by Lewis E. Jones. "There is Power in the Blood" has been performed by Angela Primm, Dolly Parton, Marty Robbins, Alan Jackson and Bill and Gloria Gaither.

Jones wrote "There Is Power in the Blood" in Mountain Lake Park, Maryland while attending a camp meeting. The manuscript was purchased by Henry Lake Gilmour, who, with William James Kirkpatrick, published the hymn in Songs of Praise and Victory less than a year after it was written. Later that same year, "There is Power in the Blood" was included in Kirkpatrick's book Gospel Praises.
