The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1235

1235. O now I see the crimson 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 see the new creation rise,
I hear the speaking blood;
It speaks, polluted nature dies,
Stinks 'neath the cleansing flood. [Chorus]

3 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]

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