1 Pure and warm, O blessed Father!
Tender, true our hearts we bring;
Cleanse us all from secret error,
While to Jesus’ cross we cling.
Refrain:
Pure and warm, and true and trusting,
Lord, we bring our hearts to Thee,
And to Thee we ever pledge them,
Now and through eternity.
2 We are here in life’s glad morning,
While the dewdrops sparkle still;
Gladly we His footsteps follow,
Gladly learn His holy will. [Refrain]
3 Oft we wander from Thee, Father!
Yet again to Thee we turn;
Oh, renew and make us faithful,
While our hearts Love’s incense burn. [Refrain]
4 Make us strong, kind, gracious Master,
Strong to battle for the right;
Strong to aid the weak and erring,
Strong to look to Thee for light. [Refrain]
