The Finest of the Wheat ‎#146

146. Washed white as snow

1 Tho’ my sins were once like crimson red,
To the healing stream my feet were led,
In the precious blood of my Savior shed
He washed me white as snow.

Refrain:
O, my joyful song henceforth shall be,
‘Tis the blood of Jesus cleanseth me,
Cleanseth, cleanseth,
Oh, yes, it cleanseth me.

2 At the door of faith I entered in,
And to him confessed my guilt and sin;
With his own dear hand he washed me clean,
He washed me white as snow. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ my heart was all I had to give,
Yet he smiled and bade me look and live;
With a calm sweet peace did I receive,—
He washed me white as snow. [Refrain]

4 I will sing his pow’r from death to save,
I will sing his triumph o’er the grave;
I will sing, while crossing Jordan’s wave,
He washed me white as snow. [Refrain]
