I See A Crimson Stream

On Cal’vry’s hill of sorrow

Where sin’s demands were paid

And rays of hope for tomorrow

Across our path were laid.

Refrain

I see a crimson stream of blood

It flows from Calvary

Its waves which reach the throne of God

Are sweeping over me.

Today no condemnation

Abides to turn away

My soul from His salvation

He’s in my heart to stay.

When gloom and sadness whisper

“You’ve sinned―no use to pray

"

I look away to Jesus

And He tells me to say:

And when we reach the portal

Where life forever reigns

The ransomed hosts’ grand final

Will be this glad refrain.
