Whiter Than the Snow

1 Fear not, little flock, says the Savior divine,
The Father has willed that the kingdom be thine;
O soil not your garments with sin here below,
My sheep and my lambs must be whiter than snow.

Chorus:
Whiter than snow,
Whiter than snow,
Whiter than snow
Whiter than snow.

2 Far whiter than snow, and as fair as the day,
For Christ is the fountain to wash guilt away;
O give Him, poor sinner, that burden of thine,
And enter the fold with the ninety and nine. [Chorus]

3 Yon sheep, that was lost in the valley of sin,
Was found by the Shepherd, who gathered Him in;
With songs of thanksgiving the hills did resound,
"My friends and my neighbors, the lost sheep is found." [Chorus]

4 Ride over temptation and cease your alarms,
Your Shepherd is Jesus, your refuge His arms;
He'll never forsake you--a Brother and Friend,
But love you and save you in worlds without end. [Chorus]
