Reformed Press Hymnal ‎#98

98. Whiter Than Snow

1 Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want Thee forever, to live in my soul;
Break down ev'ry idol, cast out ev'ry foe;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Chorus:
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

2 Lord Jesus, look down from Thy throne in the skies,
And help me to make a complete sacrifice;
I give up myself, and whatever I know;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus]

3 Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat;
I wait, blessed Lord, at Thy crucified feet,
By faith, for my cleansing I see Thy blood flow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus]

4 Lord Jesus, Thou seest I patiently wait;
Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought Thee, Thou never said'st No:
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus]
