Composer:Wendell P. Loveless

1. On The Mountain Top

1 Lord, break me on this mountain top,
And search out my known sin;
Lord, mold me on this mountain top,
And make me pure within.

Refrain:
O make me pure,
O make me pure,
Lord, make me pure within!

2 Lord, keep me on this mountain top,
And all my being fill;
Lord, teach me on this mountain top,
To do Thy blessed will. [Refrain]

3 Lord, cleanse me on this mountain top,
Thy blood o’er me let roll;
Lord send me from this mountain top
To reach some dying soul. [Refrain]
