Who, who are these beside the chilly wave,
Just on the borders of the silent grave, Shouting Jesus' power to save, " Washed in the blood of the Lamb"?
" Sweeping through the gates " of the New Jerusalem, " Washed in the blood of the Lamb."
2. These, these are they who, in their youthful days, Found Jesus early, and in wisdom's ways Proved the fulness of His grace, " Washed in the blood of the Lamb."
3. These, these are they who, in affliction's woes, Ever have found in Jesus calm repose, Such as from a pure heart Sows, "Washed in the blood of the Lamb."
4. 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."
5. Safe, safe upon the ever-shining shore, Sin, pain, and death, and sorrow, all Happy now and evermore, [are o'er ; " Washed in the blood of the Lamb."
