Fountain of purity opened for sin,
Here may the penitent wash and be clean;
Jesus, Thou blessed Redeemer from woe,
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Whiter than snow, whiter than snow;
Wash me, Redeem — - er, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Though I have laboured again and again,
All my self-cleansing is utterly vain;
Jesus, Redeemer from sorrow and woe,
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Whiter than snow, whiter than snow;
Wash me, Redeem — - er, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Cleanse Thou the thoughts of my heart, I implore;
Help me Thy light to reflect more and more;
Daily in loving obedience to grow,
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Whiter than snow, whiter than snow;
Wash me, Redeem — - er, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Whiter than snow! nothing farther plead;
Christ is the Fountain: this only I
Jesus, my Saviour, to Thee will T go —
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Whiter than snow, whiter than snow;
Wash me, Redeem — - er, and I shall be whiter than snow.
