Washed White as Snow

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 1:18

Verse 1

Tho' my sins were once like crimson red, To the healing stream my feet were led; In the precious blood my Saviour shed He washed me white as snow.

Chorus

O my joyful song henceforth shall be, " 'Tis the blood of Jesus cleanseth me, Cleanseth, cleanseth, O, yes, it cleanseth me."

Verse 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.

Chorus

O my joyful song henceforth shall be, " 'Tis the blood of Jesus cleanseth me, Cleanseth, cleanseth, O, yes, it cleanseth me."

Verse 3

Tho' my heart was all I had to give, Yet he smiled and bade me look and live; What a calm, sweet peace did I receive! He washed me white as snow.

Chorus

O my joyful song henceforth shall be, " 'Tis the blood of Jesus cleanseth me, Cleanseth, cleanseth, O, yes, it cleanseth me."

Verse 4

I will sing his pow'r from death to save, I will sing his triumph o'er the grave, I will sing beyond death's chilling wave, "He washed me white as snow."

Chorus

O my joyful song henceforth shall be, " 'Tis the blood of Jesus cleanseth me, Cleanseth, cleanseth, O, yes, it cleanseth me."
