Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want Thee forever to live in my soul.
Break down every idol, cast out every foe;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than
snow.
Refrain
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 ev’ry
stain;
To get this blest cleansing, I all things
forego—
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than
snow.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly
entreat,
I wait, blessèd 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.
Refrain
Lord Jesus, Thou seest I patiently wait,
Come now, and within 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.
Refrain
The blessing by faith, I receive from
above;
O 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.
Refrain
