His Worthy Praise ‎#75

75. Cleanse Thou My Heart

1 Cleanse Thou my heart from secret sin,
From any hidden wrong,
That to a loyal child of thine,
O Lord, must not belong.

Refrain:
Oh, make me white and pure within,
A temple bright and fair;
Cleanse thou my heart from secret sin,
And dwell forever there.

2 Cleanse Thou my heart from secret sin,
From thoughts that lead to ill;
For such, unchecked, unbridled bring
Defiance to thy will. [Refrain]

3 Cleanse Thou my heart from secret sin,
Thus only can I be
Secure from great and open wrong,
And true, O Lord, to thee. [Refrain]
