Clean Am I

Clean am I before my Lord

Washed am I in his cleansing word

Though sin talons at my face

Though my lips breath curse and praise

Though verse of doubt I've too oft writ

The eyes of forgiveness see none of it



Clean am I before my Lord

Saved am I from doomsday's sword

Though thy love I've scarcely shown

Though I've wept when the cock hath crowed

Though stumbled have I in miry's pit

The pierced Savior's hand it washes it



Clean am I before my Lord

Mortality's river I shall ford

Drink will I of angel's food

Take hold the redemption of the rood

And drink the blood she'd to remit

The sins of my soul, he sees none of it



Clean am I before my Lord

Washed am I in his cleansing word

Clean am I before my Lord

Saved am I from doomsday's sword

Clean am I before my Lord

Mortality's river I shall ford



Clean am I before my Lord

Clean am I before my Lord
