287. Pure in Heart

1 Saviour, keep me pure in heart,
By thy pow'r renewing;
Seal my life of thine a part,
All my tho'ts bedewing.

Refrain:
Pure in heart, pure in heart,
Jesus, only giver;
Seal my life of thine a part,
Here and then forever.

2 In thy sinless life I see
Matchless grace and beauty:
Perfect Pattern, guide for me,
Teaching love for duty. [Refrain]

3 One with thee! thus would I live,
Till the morn immortal;
Thus myself for others give,
With them pass the portal. [Refrain]
