The Golden Sheaf ‎#142

142. When We to Our Saviour Go

1 Sins of years are wash'd away,
Crimson stains become as snow;
Darkest night is changed to day,
When we to our Saviour go.

Chorus:
Now believing and receiving,
May we to the Saviour go,
While each heart his love is cleansing
Whiter than the driven snow.

2 Doubts and fears are borne along
On salvation's mighty flow;
Sorrow changes into song,
When we to our Saviour go. [Chorus]

3 Ease and wealth become as dross,
Worthless, vain delight and show;
All our boast is in the Cross,
When we to the Saviour go. [Chorus]

4 Self and pride are lost in love--
Love for him whose love we know;
All our treasure is above,
When we to the Saviour go. [Chorus]
