Fountain of Purity

lyricist: Newman Hall (1816–1902)
Composer: Charles Case, 1891

Fountain of pur­ity op­ened for sin

Here may the pe­ni­tent wash and be clean;

Jesus

Thou bless­èd Re­deem­er from woe

Wash me and I shall be whit­er than snow.

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.
