Who, who are these beside the chilly wave,
Just on the borders of the silent grave,
Shouting Jesu�s power to save,
�Washed in the blood of the Lamb�?
Refrain
�Sweeping through the gates� of the new Jerusalem,
�Washed in the blood of the Lamb,�
�Sweeping through the gates� of the new Jerusalem,
�Washed in the blood of the Lamb.�
These, these are they who, in their youthful days,
Found Jesus early, and in wisdom�s ways
Proved the fullness of His grace,
�Washed in the blood of the Lamb.�
Refrain
These, these are they who, in affliction�s woes,
Ever have found in Jesus calm repose,
Such as from a pure heart flows,
�Washed in the blood of the Lamb.�
Refrain
These, these are they who, in the conflict dire,
Boldly have stood amid the hottest fire;
Jesus now says, �come up higher,�
�Washed in the blood of the Lamb.�
Refrain
Safe, safe upon the ever shining shore,
Sin, pain, and death, and sorrow are all o�er;
Happy now and evermore,
�Washed in the blood of the Lamb.�
Refrain
