1 Touch and cleanse me, blessèd Savior,
I am weary of my sin;
I am longing for Thy favor,
Longing to be pure within;
Touch and cleanse me, blessèd Savior,
I am poor, and weak, and blind;
Grant me now Thy loving favor,
Let me now salvation find!
Touch and cleanse me, touch and cleanse me,
Listen to my feeble cry;
Touch and cleanse me, touch and cleanse me,
Jesus, save me, or I die.
2 Touch and cleanse me, blessèd Savior,
Humbly now my guilt I own;
Oh, bestow Thy pardoning favor!
Thu canst save me, Thou alone;
Thou dost cleanse me, blessèd Savior,
Light is streaming from above;
Now I feel Thy pardoning favor,
Oh, my soul is full of love.
Thou dost cleanse me, Thou dost cleanse me,
Thou hast heard my feeble cry;
Thou dost cleanse me, Thou dost cleanse me,
Glory be to God on high!
