Fountain of purity opened for sin, Here may the penitent wash and be clean; Jesus, Thou blessed Redeemer from woe, Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Refrain: Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow, Wash me, Redeemer, And I shall be whiter than snow.
Though I have labored again and again, All my self-cleansing is utterly vain; Jesus, Redeemer from sorrow and woe, Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Cleanse Thou the thoughts of my heart, I implore, Help me Thy light to reflect more and more; Daily in loving obedience to grow, Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Whiter than snow!—nothing further I need, Christ is the Fountain; this only I plead; Jesus, my Savior, to Thee will I go, Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
