Hymn 162

Oh! Now I see the crimson wave

Phoebe P. Knapp

Verse 1

Oh! Now I see the crimson 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!

Verse 2

I see the new creation rise,

I hear the speaking blood;

It speaks, my thankful heart replies,

Cleans’d neath its precious flood.

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!

Verse 3

O 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.

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!

Verse 4

Amazing grace! ‘Tis heav’n below,

To feel the blood applied;

And Jesus, only Jesus know,

My Jesus crucified.

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!
