Whiter Than Snow

Lord Jesus I long to be perfectly whole;

I want Thee forever to live in my soul.

break down every idle, 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.

 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. 

 Whiter than snow, yes whiter than snow.

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.

Whiter than snow, yes whiter than snow.

Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

 The blessing by faith, I receive from above;

Oh glory! My soul is made perfect in love;

My prayer has prevailed, and this moment I know,

The blood is applied, I am whiter than snow!
