748. Jesus Is Pleading for Thee

1 Hear the gentle Spirit’s call,
Jesus is pleading for thee;
There is pardon free for all,
Jesus is pleading for thee.

Refrain:
Wash in the blood,
Wash in the blood of Jesus;
Wash in the blood,
Wash in the blood of the Lamb.

2 Sinner, will you come today?
Jesus is pleading for thee;
Leave that dark and dreary way?
Jesus is pleading for thee. [Refrain]

3 Oh, He drank that bitter cup,
Jesus is pleading for thee;
And this world you must give up,
Jesus is pleading for thee. [Refrain]

4 He will wash your garments white,
Jesus is pleading for thee;
Turn your darkness into light,
Jesus is pleading for thee. [Refrain]

5 He will sweep your guilt away,
Jesus is pleading for thee;
Make your soul as clear as day,
Jesus is pleading for thee. [Refrain]

6 He will give you joy and peace,
Jesus is pleading for thee;
Glory that will never cease,
Jesus is pleading for thee. [Refrain]
