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]
