Wash an be clean, wash an be clean
Go dung a Bethlehem, wash an be clean,
Go wash in de blood of de Lamb.

Wash an be clean, wash an be clean
Go dung a Calvary, wash an be clean,
Go wash in de blood of de Lamb.

This is a rousing Revival chorus on the oft repeated theme of the cleansing power of the blood of the Lamb.
