15. The Cleansing Blood

1 From the cross there flows a hallowed stream,
Full of power, sinners to redeem;
Let the world the blessed tidings know,
That this stream can wash as white as now.

Chorus:
Oh, this stream of crimson flood!
Oh, this hallowed saving blood!
Let the world the blessed tidings know,
That Jesus blood can wash as white as snow.

2 Millions there have washed away their sin;
Millions more may freely enter in;
To this fountain let the sin-sick go,
And its stream will was as white as snow. [Chorus]

3 Peace and pardon, life and love it brings,
Till the soul in holy rapture sings
In the strains that swift and praiseful flow:
Jesus’ blood can wash as white as snow. [Chorus]
