Nicholson Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S162 (1913) First Line: Ack Jesus, jag längtar att helt blifva din Refrain First Line: Hvit såsom snö, ja, hvit sÅsom snö Lyrics: 1 Ack Jesus, jag längtar att helt blifva din, Så kom och för evigt mitt hjärta tag in, Att intet i världen må mer mig förströ, Ja, två mig, att hvit jag må blifva som snö! Kör: Hvit så som snö, ja, hvit såsom snö; Ja, två mig, att hvit jag må blifva som snö! 2 Låt ej något syndigt i mig blifva kvar, Utplåna med blodet hvar fläck, som jag har; All glädje i världen ju vissnar som hö; Så två mig, att hvit jag må bilfva som snö! [Kör] 3 O Jesus, se ned från din himmelska hôjd Och hjälp mig att offra mig helt och med fröjd Förläna din kraft åt den vacklande rö; Ja, två mig, att hvit jag må blifva som snö! [Kör] 4 O Jesus, så träder jag bedjande fram Och lägger mig ned invid korsträdets stam; Där täcktes för mig du ju blöda och dö; Så två mig, att hvit jag må blifva som snö! [Kör] 5 Och aldrig från bedjande vånde du dig; Så kom och förnya mitt hjärta i mig: Ryck bort hvarje orent uppspirande frø Och två mig, att hvit jag må blifva som snö!
