332- The Cleansing Wave

Gospel: Baptism

1

  • O now I see the crimson wave,
  • The fountain deep and wide;
  • Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save,
  • Points to His wounded side.

Refrain

  • The cleansing stream I see, I see,
  • I plunge, and O, it cleanseth me!
  • O praise the Lord! it cleanseth me,
  • It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me.

2

  • I see the new creation rise,
  • I hear the speaking blood;
  • It speaks; polluted nature dies,
  • Sinks 'neath the cleansing flood.

3

  • I rise to walk in heaven's own light,
  • Above the world and sin;
  • With heart made pure and garments white,
  • And Christ enthroned within.

4

  • Amazing grace! 'tis heaven below
  • To feel the blood applied,
  • And Jesus, only Jesus, know,
  • My Jesus crucified.
