1.Blessed be the Fountain of blood,To a world of sinners revealed;Blessed be the dear Son of God;Only by his stripes we are healed.Tho' I've wandered far from his fold,Bringing to my heart pain and woe,Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,And I shall be whiter than snow.Chorus:Whiter than the snow,Whiter than the snow,Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,And I shall be whiter than snow.2.Thorny was the crown that he wore,And the cross his body o'er came;Grievous were the sorrows he bore,But he suffered thus not in vain.May I to the Fountain be led,Made to cleanse my sins here below;Wash me in the blood that he shed,And I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus]3.Father, I have wandered from thee,Often has my heart gone astray:Crimson do my sins seem to me,Water cannot wash them away.Jesus, to that Fountain of thine,Leaning on thy promise I go;Cleanse me by thy washing divine,And I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus]
