Representative Text

1 O, the rocks and the mount­ains shall all flee away,
When Je­sus comes to judg­ment the last great day;
And no re­fuge can shel­ter, no co­vert can hide
The soul that hath re­ject­ed the Cru­ci­fied.

Refrain:
Sinner, sin­ner, plunge in the crim­son flood!
There’s par­don, peace, and cleans­ing be­neath the blood.
Sinner, sin­ner, plunge in the crim­son flood!
There’s pard­on, peace, and cleans­ing be­neath the blood.

2 In the world there’s no plea­sure can ev­er endure,
The mo­ments are so fleet­ing, there’s no­thing sure;
For we fade as a leaf, and our time’s but a breath,
The Lord hath said the wag­es of sin is death. [Refrain]

3 In the blood there is cleans­ing with­out and with­in,
And Jesus breaks the pow­er of can­celed sin;
He keeps us and saves us to the ut­ter­most,
Baptizes us with fire and the Ho­ly Ghost. [Refrain]
