In the blood from the cross,
I have been washed from sin;
But to be free from dross,
Still I would en­ter in.

Refrain

Deeper yet, deep­er yet,
Into the crim­son flood;
Deeper yet, deep­er yet,
Under the pre­cious blood.

Day by day, hour by hour,
Blessings are sent to me;
But for more of His pow­er,
Ever my pray­er shall be.

Refrain

Near to Christ I would live,
Following Him each day;
What I ask He will give;
So then with faith I pray.

Refrain

Now I have peace, sweet peace,
While in this world of sin;
But to pray I’ll not cease
Till I am pure with­in.

Refrain
