Wash Your Sins Away

Author: William Leslie Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: From Jesus' lips we hear the call Refrain First Line: He'll wash your sins away Lyrics: 1 From Jesus' lips we hear the call, In tones of tenderness to all, "Ye burdened sinners, come to Me, Though heavy-laden you may be." Chorus: He'll wash your sins away, He'll wash your sins away, The blood of Christ, the bleeding Lamb, Will wash your sins away. 2 He would not have one sinner lost, For well He knows what pardon cost, O seek His mercy while you may, And Christ will wash your sins away. [Chorus] 3 Too long you have remained in sin, Forsake it, hat it—now begin; Tho' Satan long has held the sway, Yet Christ can wash your sins away. [Chorus] 4 And some have erred and turned aside, And, Peter-like, their Lord denied, To such He calls in love today, And seeks to wash your sins away. [Chorus]
