174. The Cleansing Wave

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

Chorus:
The cleansing stream, I see, I see!
I plunge, and oh, it cleanseth me;
Oh, 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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

4 Amazing grace! 'tis heav'n below
To feel the blood applied;
And Jesus, only Jesus know,
My Jesus crucified. [Chorus]
