Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #17 (1888) First Line: Royal and rare was the wondrous store Refrain First Line: Wash and be clean, wash and be clean Lyrics: 1. Royal and rare was the wondrous store
Naaman had bro't to the prophet's door,
Willing to give his countless wealth
To be restored to perfect health.
Chorus:
Wash and be clean, wash and be clean,
Wash in the fountain once open'd for sin;
Wash and be clean, wash and be clean,
This is the message: "Believe on His name."
2. Nothing to do but believe and live;
God was the Giver and loved to give;
Such was the message that came to him,
Bidding the leper "Wash and be clean." [Chorus]
3. Naaman, in anger, would not obey,
Proudly rejecting the simple way,
He would have purchased his health with gold,
Naught that was needed would he withhold. [Chorus]
