THIS, this is he that came By water and by blood! Jesus is our atoning Lamb,...

John Wesley (1703-1791)

4 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 1

THIS, this is he that came By water and by blood! Jesus is our atoning Lamb, Our sanctifying God.

Verse 2

See from his wounded side The mingled current flow! The water and the blood applied Shall wash us white as snow.

Verse 3

The water cannot cleanse, Before the blood we feel, To purge the guilt of all our sins, And our forgiveness seal.

Verse 4

But both in Jesus join, Who speaks our sins forgiven, And gives the purity divine That makes us meet for heaven.
