The New Church Hymnal ‎#105

105. The Cleansing Wave

1 Oh! now I see the crimson wave!
The fountain deep and wide;
Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save,
Points to His wounded side.

Refrain:
The cleansing stream, I see, I see,
I plunge, and oh, it cleanseth me!
Oh, praise the Lord, it cleanseth me,
It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me!

2 I see the new creation rise,
I hear the speaking blood;
It speaks, my thankful heart replies,
Cleansed 'neath its precious flood. [Refrain]

3 O rise to walk in Heav'n's own light
Above the world and sin,
With heart made pure, and garments white,
And Christ enthroned within. [Refrain]

4 Amazing grace! 'Tis heav'n below
To feel the blood applied,
And Jesus, only Jesus know,
My Jesus crucified. [Refrain]
