Coronation Hymns ‎#69

69. Keep Me White

1 Thou hast saved me, Lord, from sin,
Into day hast turned my night;
Thou art dwelling now within,
Blessed Jesus, keep me white.

Chorus:
Blessed Jesus, keep me white,
Ever walking in the light,
Till in heaven I shall be
Spotless through eternity.

2 When I weary by the way,
May Thy cross remain in sight;
Lest my feet should go astray,
Blessed Jesus, keep we white. [Chorus]

3 Human strength must often fail,
Fear and doubting leave their blight:
That with these I may prevail,
Blessed Jesus, keep me white. [Chorus]

4 Thou hast opened heav'n for me,
I shall walk its streets of light;
But while I may work for Thee,
Blessed Jesus, keep me white. [Chorus]
