52. Meet Me in the City

1 Ten thousand times ten thousand in the city of our King,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
As they gaze upon his beauty, everlasting love they sing,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain:
O, meet me in the city of the new Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Meet me in the city of the new Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

2 Behold a mighty army marching onward to the throne,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Sweetly trusting their Redeemer, they are saved by grace alone,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb. [Refrain]

3 When fears and doubts beset us, let us ring it out again,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Soon arrayed in spotless garments, in his kingdom we shall reign,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb. [Refrain]

4 So shall our lives be given to the blessed Master’s praise,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
‘Tis the sweetest note of triumph that his ransomed people raise,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb. [Refrain]
