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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 Whiter than snow ! nothing farther I need ;
Christ is the Fountain: this only I plead ;
Jesus, my Saviour, to Thee will T go----
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
