Refrain: O for a heart whiter than snow! Saviour divine, to whom else shall go? Thou who didst die, loving me so, Give me a heart that is whiter than snow. 2 O for a heart that is whiter than snow, Calm in the peace that he loves to bestow, Daily refreshed by the heavenly dews, Ready for service whene’er he shall choose! 3 O for a heart that is whiter than snow, With the pure flame of the Spirit aglow, Filled with the love that is true and sincere, Love that is able to banish all fear! 4 O for a heart that is whiter than snow, Then in his grace and his knowledge to grow, Growing like him who my pattern shall be, Till in his beauty my King I shall see!

Stay no longer on the threshold, Now believe and enter in; Claim through Christ complete deliverance From the slavery of sin. 3 Though you know your sins forgiven, Greater things await you still; Freedom here from sin’s dominion, Power to do the Master’s will. Fear no longer, he is with you, Let no foe your steps arrest; Seek today the Father’s blessing, Enter now the land of rest.

Show me thy face, one transient gleam

Author: Anon Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Show me thy face, one transient gleam Of loveliness divine, And I shall never think or dream Of other love save thine; All lesser light will darken quite, All lower glories wane, The beautiful of earth will scarce Seem beautiful again. 2 Show me thy face, I shall forget The weary days of yore, The fretting ghosts of vain regret Shall haunt my soul no more. All doubts and fears for future years In quiet trust subside, And naught but blest content and calm Within my breast abide. 3 Show me thy face, the heaviest cross Will then seem light to bear, There will be gain in every loss, And peace with every care. With such light feet the years will fleet, Life seem as brief as blest, Till I have laid my burden down, And entered into rest.
