The Cleansing Wave

Oh! now I see the crimson wave,

The fountain deep and wide;

Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save

Points to His wounded side.

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 heav'n's own light

Above the world and sin,

With heart made pure, and

garments white,

And Christ enthroned within.

Amazing grace! 'tis heav'n below

To feel the blood applied,

And Jesus, only Jesus know,

My Jesus crucified.
