I want, dear Lord, a heart that's true and clean

Author: George Jackson (1866-93) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #426 (1986) Lyrics: 1 I want, dear Lord, a heart that’s true and clean, A sunlit heart, with not a cloud between; A heart like thine, a heart divine, A heart as white as snow; On me, dear Lord, a heart like this bestow. 2 I want, dear Lord, a love that cares for all, A deep, strong love that answers every call; A love like thine, a love divine, A love to come or go; On me, dear Lord, a love like this bestow. 3 I want, dear Lord, a soul on fire for thee, A soul baptised with heavenly energy; A willing mind, a ready hand To do whate’er I know, To spread thy light wherever I may go.

Alfred B. Smith

1916 - 2001 Arranger of "[I want, dear Lord, a heart that's true and clean]" in Revival Hymns and Choruses Used pseudonym B. C. Laurelton ---------- In 1930, he began playing on radio broadcasts in Jersey City, New Jersey, on "The Old Fashioned Gospel Hour." After meeting Wendell P. Loveless, Alfred enrolled at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and became a member of the WMBI staff. During service as Minister of Music at The Church of the Open Door in Philadelphia, he taught at The Philadelphia School of the Bible in the fall of 1938. During that year, he wrote "For God So Loved the World" after visiting the ninety-four year-old hymn writer George C. Stebbins. Smith met Billy Graham when they were both students at Wheaton College. During their long collaboration, they founded Singspiration in 1941. After graduating from Wheaton, Smith, Graham, and George Beverly Shea started "Youth for Christ" in Chicago. --Daniel Mahraun (from livinghymns.org)

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author (st. 1-3) of "A Heart Like Thine" in Revival Hymns and Choruses In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
