The Crimson Wave
Words by Phoebe Palmer
Music by Mrs. J.F. Knapp
1 John 1:7
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship
one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all
sin."
Oh! now I see the crimson 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!
II plunge and oh, it cleanseth me!
Oh! praise the Lord, it cleanseth me,
It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me!
I see the new creation rise,
I hear the speaking blood;
It speaks! polluted nature dies!
Sinks 'neath the cleansing flood.
Chorus
The cleansing stream, I see, I see!
I plunge and oh, it cleanseth me!
Oh! praise the Lord, it cleanseth me,
It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me!
I rise to walk in heav'n's own light
Above the world and sin.
And Jesus, only Jesus know,
My Jesus crucified.
Chorus
The cleansing stream, I see, I see!
I plunge and oh, it cleanseth me!
Oh! praise the Lord, it cleanseth me,
It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me!
