Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #473 (1917) Lyrics: 1 For ever here my rest shall be,
Close to Thy bleeding side;
This all my hope, and all my plea,
For me the Saviour died!
2 My dying Saviour, and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever with Thy blood,
And cleanse, and keep me clean.
3 Wash me, and make me thus Thine own;
Wash me, and mine Thou art;
Wash me, but not my feet alone,
My hands, my head, my heart.
4 The atonement of Thy blood apply,
Till faith to sight improve,
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul be love. Topics: Atonement Finished; Blood of Christ; Christ Blood of; Christ Died for me; The Christian Life The Inner Life; Foundation, for sin; Purity Of Heart; Heart Pure; Heart Washed; Holiness; Sprinkled Blood; Sin Fountain for Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW
