Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole, I want Thee for ever to live in my soul ; Break down every idol, cast out every foe--- Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow, Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
2. Lord Jesus, let nothing unholy remain, Apply Thine own blood and extract every stain ; To get this blest cleansing I all things forego---- Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
3. 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.
4 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.
5. Lord Jesus, Thou seest I patiently wait ; Come now, and with me a new heart create ; To those who have sought Thee, Thou never saidst No---- Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
