2 Did you ever hear such words before,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
As "go in peace and sin no more,"
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain:
’Tis a glorious church without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
’Tis a glorious church without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

2 Did you hear what Jesus said to me,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
"Your sins are pardoned, you are free,"
Washed in the blood of the Lamb. [Refrain]

3 I have plunged beneath the crimson tide,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
And now by faith I’m sanctified,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb. [Refrain]

4 O lift up your heads, ye sons of light,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
For Zion now is just in sight,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb. [Refrain]

5 If I get there before you do,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
How glad I’ll be to welcome you,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb. [Refrain]
