Tom: 1	
Verso I
1
Blessed be the Fountain of blood,
        5    
To a world of sinners revealed;
1
Blessed be the dear Son of God
     4              5      1
Only by His stripes we are healed.
4                              1
Tho I’ve wandered far from His fold,
4              2              5
Bringing to my heart pain and woe,
1         
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
      4        5           1
And I shall be whiter than snow.
 
Refrão
1               5
Whiter than the snow,
2m   5            1
Whi__ter than the snow,
1                           4    2m
Wash me in the blood of the Lam___b,
2m    1        5           1
And I shall be whiter than snow.
 
Verso II
1
Thorny was the crown that He wore,
        5        
And the cross His body o’ercame;
1
Grievous were the sorrows He bore.
       4             5      1
But He suffered thus not in vain.
4                         1
May I to that Fountain be led,
4                  2         5
Made to cleanse my sins here below;
1                      
Wash me in the blood that He shed,
      4        5           1
And I shall be whiter than snow.
 
Verso III
1
Father, I have wandered from Thee,
      5      
Often has my heart gone astray;
1
Crimson do my sins seem to me
      4      5         1
Water cannot wash them away.
4                         1
Jesus, to the Fountain of Thine,
4              2          5
Leaning on Thy promise, I go;
1                     
Cleanse me by Thy washing divine,
      4        5           1
And I shall be whiter than snow.
