Though I should seek to wash me clean

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #64 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Though I should seek to wash me clean In waters of the driven snow, My soul would yet in spots retain, And sink in conscious guilt and wo: 2 The spirit, in his power divine, Would cast my vaunting soul to earth, Expose the foulness of its sin, And show the vileness of its worth. 3 Ah, not like erring man is God, That men to answer him should dare. Condemn'd, and into silence awed, They helpless stand before his bar. 4 There, must a Mediator plead, Who, God and man, may both embrace; With God, for man to intercede, And offer man the purchased grace. 5 And lo! the Son of God is slain To be this Mediator crown'd: In Him, my soul, be cleansed from stain, In Him thy righteousness be found.

Though I should seek to wash me clean

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #348 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Though I should seek to wash me clean In water of the driven snow, My soul would yet its spots retain, And sink in conscious guilt and woe. 2 God's law in all its power divine Condemns my erring soul to death; Declares the foulness of its sin, And show the vileness of its worth. 3 There must a Mediator plead Whom God and man may both embrace, With God for man to intercede, And offer us the purchased grace. 4 And thus the Son of God is slain To be this Mediator crowned; In him, my soul, be cleansed from stain, In him thy righteousness be found.
