166. O Make Me Pure

1 Beclouded long my way has been,
Because of doubts and fears within;
Lord, take away my every sin,
And make me pure, O make me pure.

Refrain:
My one desire, my only plea,
That I some day Thy face may see,
And live with Thee eternally;
O make me pure, O make me pure.

2 Thy grace I claim from day to day;
Thy blood to wash my guilt away;
Thyself to teach me how to pray;
O make me pure, O make me pure. [Refrain]

3 Long as I journey here below,
Be Thou my Guide where’er I go;
Thy presence, Lord, I need it so,
To keep me pure, to keep me pure. [Refrain]
