Lyrics

Did you ev­er hear such words before,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
As go in peace and sin no more,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

’Tis a glo­ri­ous church without spot or wrin­kle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
’Tis a glo­ri­ous church with­out spot or wrin­kle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Did you hear what Je­sus said to me,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
Your sins are pardoned, you are free,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

I have plunged be­neath the crim­son tide,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
And now by faith I’m sanc­ti­fied,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

O lift up your heads, ye sons of light,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
For Zi­on now is just in sight,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

If I get there before you do,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
How glad I’ll be to wel­come you,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
