First Line: Dear Saviour, how often my heart has been sad Refrain First Line: Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, how often my heart has been sad, How often it murmurs, when it should be glad; Come, reign in this bosom, cast out ev’ry foe, And wash me that I may be whiter than snow. Chorus: Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow, O wash me that I may be whiter than snow. 2 O help me, dear Saviour, to patiently wait Thy coming and cleansing, anew to create; The grace of full pardon, O wilt Thou bestow, And wash me that I may be whiter than snow. [Chorus] 3 My time and my talents, my goods I resign To Thee, my dear Saviour, they always were Thine; O make me Thy steward in all things below, And wash me that I may be whiter than snow. [Chorus] 4 My dwelling though pitched in a wilderness here, To me will be Eden, if Thou, Lord, art near; Thy presence is life everlasting, I know, Thy blood, it hath cleansed me, I’m whiter than snow. [Chorus] Topics: Prayer; Christ's Name and Grace Extolled Languages: English Tune Title: [Dear Saviour, how often my heart has been sad]
