Oh, the joy of sins for­giv’n,
Oh, the bliss the blood-washed know,
Oh, the peace akin to Heav’n,
Where the heal­ing wa­ters flow.

Refrain

Where the heal­ing wa­ters flow,
Where the joys ce­les­ti­al glow,
Oh, there’s peace and rest and love,
Where the heal­ing wa­ters flow!

Now with Je­sus cru­ci­fied,
At His feet I’m rest­ing low;
Let me ev­er­more abide
Where the heal­ing wa­ters flow.

Refrain

O, this pre­cious, per­fect love!
How it keeps the heart aglow,
Streaming from the fount above,
Where the heal­ing wa­ters flow.

Refrain

Oh, to lean on Je­sus’ breast,
While the tem­pests come and go!
Here is bless­èd peace and rest,
Where the heal­ing wa­ters flow.

Refrain

Cleansed from ev­ery sin and stain,
Whiter than the driv­en snow,
Now I sing my sweet re­frain,
Where the heal­ing wa­ters flow.
