398. Whiter Than Snow

1 Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole,
I want Thee forever to live in my soul.
Break down ev'ry idol, cast out ev'ry 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 saidst "No" -
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]
