Wash Me, O Lamb of God

Author: H. B. Beegle Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; By Thine atoning blood, Oh, make me clean; Purge me from ev’ry stain, Let me Thine image gain, In love and mercy reign O’er all within. 2 Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; I long to be like Thee, All pure within; Now let the crimson tide, Shed from Thy wounded side, Be to my heart applied, And make me clean. 3 Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; I will not, cannot rest Till pure within; All human skill is vain, But Thou canst cleanse each stain Till not a spot remain, Made wholly clean. 4 Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; By faith Thy cleansing blood Now makes me clean; So near Thou art to me, So sweet my rest in Thee, Oh, blessed purity! Saved, saved from sin. 5 Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; Thou, while I trust in Thee, Wilt keep me clean; Each day to Thee I bring Heart, life, yea, ev’rything; Saved while to Thee I cling, Saved from all sin.

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Wash me, O Lamb of God]" in The Finest of the Wheat No. 2 William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
