Sheet music
- 1O now I see the crimson wave!The fountain deep and wide;Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save,Points to His wounded side.The stream I see from Calvary,I plunge, and O, it cleanseth me;Oh, praise the Lord, it cleanseth me!The precious blood it cleanseth me.
- 2I see the new creation rise;Begotten by the word,And born again to gain the prize–Forgiveness of the Lord.The stream I see from Calvary,I plunge, and O, it cleanseth me;Oh, praise the Lord, it cleanseth me!The precious blood it cleanseth me.
- 3I rise to walk in heaven's light,Above the world and sin;With heart made pure and garments white,And Christ enthroned within.The stream I see from Calvary,I plunge, and O, it cleanseth me;Oh, praise the Lord, it cleanseth me!The precious blood it cleanseth me.
