Tune:[O now I see the cleansing wave]
Composer:Phoebe P. Knapp, 1839-1908

300. The Cleansing Wave

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

Chorus:
The cleansing stream, I see, I see!
I plunge, and O it cleanseth me!
O praise the Lord, it cleanseth me!
It cleanseth me - yes, cleanseth me!

2 I 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. [Chorus]

3 Amazing grace! 'tis heav'n below
To feel the blood applied,
And Jesus, only Jesus know -
My Jesus crucified. [Chorus]
