19. O for a Heart Whiter than Snow

1 O for a heart that is whiter than snow!
Kept, ever kept, 'neath the lifegiving flow;
Cleansed from all passion, self-seeking, and pride,
Washed in the fountain of Calvary's tide.

Chorus:
O for a heart whiter than snow!
Saviour divine, to whom else can I go?
Thou who didst die, loving me so,
Give me a heart that is whiter than snow.

2 O for a heart that is whiter than snow!
Calm in the peace that he loves to bestow;
Daily refreshed by the heavenly dews,
Ready for service whene'er he shall choose. [Chorus]

3 O for a heart that is whiter than snow!
With the pure flame of the Spirit aglow;
Filled with the love that is true and sincere,
Love that is able to banish all fear. [Chorus]

4 O for a heart that is whiter than snow!
Then in his grace and his knowledge to grow;
Growing like him who my pattern shall be,
Till in his beauty my King I shall see. [Chorus]
