Wash Me, O Lamb of God

Verse 1

Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; By Thine atoning blood, Oh, make me clean; Purge me from ev’ry stain, Let me Thine image gain, In love and mercy reign O’er all within.

Verse 2

Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; I long to be like Thee, All pure within; Now let the crimson tide, Shed from Thy wounded side, Be to my heart applied, And make me clean.

Verse 3

Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; I will not, cannot rest Till pure within; All human skill is vain, But Thou canst cleanse each stain Till not a spot remain, Made wholly clean.

Verse 4

Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; By faith Thy cleansing blood Now makes me clean; So near Thou art to me, So sweet my rest in Thee, Oh, blessed purity! Saved, saved from sin.

Verse 5

Wash me, O Lamb of God, Wash me from sin; Thou, while I trust in Thee, Wilt keep me clean; Each day to Thee I bring Heart, life, yea, ev’rything; Saved while to Thee I cling, Saved from all sin.
