Cleansing for Me

Author: B. J. Appears in 24 hymnals First Line: Lord, thro' the blood of the Lamb that was slain Lyrics: 1 Lord, thro’ the blood of the Lamb that was slain, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; From all the guilt of my sins now I claim Cleansing from Thee, cleansing from Thee. Sinful and black though the past may have been, Many the crushing defeats I have seen, Yet on Thy promise, O Lord, I now lean, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me. 2 From all the doubts that have filled me with gloom, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; From all the fears that would point me to doom, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; Jesus, although I may not understand, In childlike faith now I stretch forth my hand, And through Thy Word and Thy grace I shall stand, Cleansed by Thee, cleansed by Thee. 3 From all the care of what men think or say, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; From ever fearing to speak, sing or pray, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; Lord, in Thy love and Thy power make me strong That all may know that to Thee I belong; When I am tempted, let this be my song— Cleansing for me, cleansing for me.
