690. THE CLEANSING STREAM


OH, now I see the cleansing 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.

I see the new creation rise,
I hear the speaking blood!
It speaks polluted nature dies!
Sinks ‘neath the cleansing flood.

I rise to walk in heaven’s own light,
Above the world and sin,
With heart made pure and garment white
And Christ enthroned within.

Amazing grace! ‘Tis heaven below
To feel the blood applied
And Jesus, only Jesus knows,
My Jesus crucified.
