Whiter Than Snow

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, after each verseWhiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

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.

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.

Lord Jesus, thou seest I patiently wait;Come now, and within me a new heart create;To those who have sought thee, thou never said'st no—Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
