8122. Washed White As Snow

1 Tho’ my sins were once like crimson red,
To the healing stream my feet were led,
In the precious blood my Savior shed
He washed me white as snow.

Refrain:
Oh, my joyful song shall henceforth be,
’Tis the blood of Jesus cleanseth me,
Cleanseth, cleanseth,
Oh, yes, it cleanseth me.

2 At the door of faith I entered in,
And to Him confessed my guilt and sin,
With His own dear hand He washed me clean,
He washed me white as snow. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ my heart was all I had to give,
Yet He smiled and bade me look and live,
What a calm, sweet peace did I receive—
He washed me white as snow. [Refrain]

4 I will sing His power from death to save,
I will sing His triumph o’er the grave,
I will sing, while crossing Jordan’s wave,
He washed me white as snow. [Refrain]
