1 O cross of shame and anguish, Dark, fathomless, unknown; O fount of grace and glory, O thou tide of love divine, Flow on till every nation Shall tell thy pow’r to save– The healing cleansing power In the flowing crimson wave.
Refrain: The crimson tide is flowing free, For thee, dear one, for thee, for thee, Come, bathe thy weary, sin-sick soul, It’s healing tide shall make thee whole.
2 The crimson wave is flowing, Is flowing now for thee; Behold the fountain open wide Upon Mount Calvary, That crimson wave is flowing, Dear sinner, ’tis for thee; Come with thy heavy burden, For the tide is full and free. [Refrain]
3 Behold by faith a Savior Upon th’accursed tree; Behold Him bleeding, dying there, And this for you and me! Come to this healing fountain, O haste without delay, And ’neath its wave of crimson Wash thy load of sin away. [Refrain]
4 Behold your Savior pleading, His mercy now is free; Come, lest the tide receding, Never more avail for thee, That fountain now is open, The spirit striving still; To all the invitation Gives: “Come, whosoever will.” [Refrain] | The Cyber Hymnal #12115 Make Christ King: a selection of high class gospel music for use in general worship and special evangelistic meetings #72 (1912) |
