The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3048

3048. I See a Crimson Stream

1. On Cal’vry’s hill of sorrow
Where sin’s demands were paid,
And rays of hope for tomorrow
Across our path were laid.

Refrain
I see a crimson stream of blood,
It flows from Calvary,
Its waves which reach the throne of God,
Are sweeping over me.

2. Today no condemnation
Abides to turn away
My soul from His salvation,
He’s in my heart to stay. [Refrain]

3. When gloom and sadness whisper,
You’ve sinned—no use to pray,
I look away to Jesus,
And He tells me to say: [Refrain]

4. And when we reach the portal
Where life forever reigns,
The ransomed hosts’ grand final
Will be this glad refrain. [Refrain]
