WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
1. Who, who are
these beside the chilly wave,
Just on the borders
of the silent grave,
Shouting Jesus'
pow'r to save,
"Washed in the
blood of the Lamb"?
Refrain
Sweeping thro' the gates
of the New Jerusalem,
"Washed in the
blood of the Lamb;"
Sweeping thro' the
gates of the New Jerusalem,
"Washed in the
blood of the Lamb."
2. These, these are
they who, in their youthful days,
Found Jesus early,
and in wisdom's ways,
Proved the fullness
of His grace,
"Washed in the
blood of the Lamb."
3. These, these are
they who, in affliction's woes,
Ever have found in
Jesus calm repose,
Such as from a pure
heart flows,
"Washed in the
blood of the Lamb."
4. These, these are
they who, in the conflict dire,
Boldly have stood
amid the hottest fire;
Jesus now says,
"Come up higher!''
"Washed in the
blood of the Lamb."
5. Safe, safe upon
the ever-shining shore,
Sin, pain, and
death, and sorrow, all are o'er;
Happy now and
evermore,
"Washed in the
blood of the Lamb."
