(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
O 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 O it cleanseth me!
O praise the Lord, it cleanseth me!
It cleanseth me – yes, cleanseth me.
2
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.
CHORUS
3
Amazing grace! ‘tis heav’n below
To feel the blood applied,
And Jesus, only Jesus know –
My Jesus crucified.
CHORUS
