By A Collection of Hymns

      S.M. 1 John v. 6.
      1 THIS, this is he that came
      By water and by blood!
      Jesus is our atoning Lamb,
      Our sanctifying God.

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

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

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