| Text: | Whiter than Snow |
| Author: | James Nicholson |
| Tune: | [Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole] |
| Composer: | Wm. G. Fischer |
1 Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want thee forever to live in my soul:
Break down every idol, cast out every foe:
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Refrain:
Whiter than snow—yes, whiter than snow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
2 Lord Jesus, look down from thy throne in the skies,
And help me to make a complete sacrifice:
I give up myself, and whatever I know:
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]
3 Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat;
I wait, blessed Lord, at thy crucified feet;
By faith, for my cleansing, I see thy blood flow:
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]
4 Lord Jesus, thou seest I patiently wait;
Come now, and within me a new heart create.
To those who have sought thee thou never said'st No:
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]
