And many women were there.

Words & Music: Isaiah Baltzell, in Gates of Praise (Dayton, Ohio: W. J. Shuey, 1880), page 56 (🔊 pdf nwc).
O Jesus, Savior, I long to rest
Near the cross where Thou hast died;
For there is hope for the aching breast,
At the cross I will abide.
Refrain
At the cross I’ll abide,
At the cross I’ll abide;
At the cross I’ll abide,
There His blood is applied;
At the cross I am sanctified.
My dying Jesus, my Savior God,
Who hast borne my guilt and sin,
Now wash me, cleanse me with Thine own blood,
Ever keep me pure and clean.
Refrain
O Jesus, Savior, now make me Thine,
Never let me stray from Thee;
Oh, wash me, cleanse me, for Thou art mine,
And Thy love is full and free.
Refrain
The cleansing power of Thy blood apply,
All my guilt and sin remove;
Oh, help me, while at Thy cross I lie,
Fill my soul with perfect love.
Refrain
