Jesus is pleading for thee;
There is pardon free for all,
Jesus is pleading for thee.

Wash in the blood,
Wash in the blood of Je­sus;
Wash in the blood,
Wash in the blood of the Lamb.

Jesus is pleading for thee;
Leave that dark and dreary way,
Jesus is pleading for thee.

Oh! He drank that bitter cup,
Jesus is pleading for thee;
And this world you must give up,
Jesus is pleading for thee.

He will wash your garments white,
Jesus is pleading for thee;
Turn your darkness into light,
Jesus is pleading for thee.

Jesus is pleading for thee;
Make thy soul as clear as day,
Jesus is pleading for thee.

Jesus is pleading for thee;
Glory that will ne­ver cease,
Jesus is pleading for thee.
