238   WHO WHO ARE THESE?




[V1]

Who, who are these beyond the chilly wave,
Just past the borders of the silent grave,
Shouting Jesus’ power to save?
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

[C]
Sweeping through the gates to the new Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Sweeping through the gates to the New Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

[V2]
These, these are they who in their youthful days,
Found Jesus early, and in wisdom’s way,
Proved the fullness of his grace,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

[C]
Sweeping through the gates to the new Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Sweeping through the gates to the New Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

[V3]
These, these are they who in affliction’s woes,
Ever have found in Jesus calm repose,
Peace which from a pure heart flows,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

[C]
Sweeping through the gates to the new Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Sweeping through the gates to the New Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

[V4]
These, these are they who in the conflict dire,
Boldly have stood amid the hottest fire;
Jesus now says “Come up higher,”
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

[C]
Sweeping through the gates to the new Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Sweeping through the gates to the New Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

[V5]
Safe, safe upon the ever-shining shore,
Sin, pain, and death, and sorrow all are o’er;
Happy now and ever more,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

[C]
Sweeping through the gates to the new Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Sweeping through the gates to the New Jerusalem,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
