Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the mercy of the Lord: "I'll be a God to thee; I'll bless thy numerous race, and they, Shall be a seed to Me." 2 Abram believed the promised grace, And gave his child to God; But water seals the blessing now, That once was sealed with blood. 3 Jesus the ancient faith confirms, To our forefathers given; He takes young children to His arms, And calls them heirs of heaven. 4 Our God, how faithful are His ways! His love endures the same; Nor from the promise of His grace Blots out His children's name. 5 Thus to the parents and their seed Shall Thy salvation come; And numerous households meet at last In one eternal home.

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Appears in 189 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee, O Saviour of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Saviour, Art all in all to me, And perfect strength in weakness Is theirs who lean on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, No other friend can read The spirit's strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe and hush and calm it, O blessed Lord, but Thine. 4 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I."

The love that made us, makes us one, And strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, Unseen, but ever near, Is in such friendship better known, Alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound By all that God has done, We'll go with joy, to give the world The love that makes us one.

Chorus: Whiter than the snow, Whiter than the snow, Wash me in the blood of the Lamb, And I shall be whiter than snow. 2 Thorny was the crown that He wore, And the cross His body o’ercame; Grievous were the sorrows He bore, But He suffered thus not in vain.

[Chorus] 3 Father, I have wandered from Thee, Often has my heart gone astray; Crimson do my sins seem to me— Water cannot wash them away. Jesus, to the Fountain of Thine, Leaning on Thy promise, I go; Cleanse me by Thy washing divine, And I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Blessed be the Fountain of blood]
