Representative Text

1 Wonderful Savior forgiveness bestow,
Souls that are scarlet made whiter than snow.

Chorus:
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow,
Crimson’d hearts, scarlet hearts, whiter than snow;
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow,
Crimson’d hearts, scarlet hearts, whiter than snow.

2 Droop we in penitence, long we to know
Hearts that were crimson made whiter than snow. [Chorus]

3 Why should the blood-tide on Calvary flow,
But that our hearts should be whiter than snow. [Chorus]

4 For this the Savior died, let the world know,
Every heart may be whiter than snow. [Chorus]
