Oh, for a Heart Whiter Than Snow

Oh

for a heart that is whit­er than snow

Kept

ev­er kept ’neath the life giv­ing flow

Cleansed from all pas­sion

self-seek­ing and pride

Washed in the fount­ain of Cal­va­ry’s tide.

Oh

for a heart whit­er than snow!

Savior di­vine

to whom else shall I go?

Thou who didst die

lov­ing me so

Give me a heart that is whit­er than snow!

Oh

for a heart that is whit­er than snow!

Calm in the peace that He loves to be­stow;

Daily re­freshed by the heav­en­ly dews

Ready for serv­ice when­e’er He shall choose.

Oh

for a heart that is whit­er than snow!

With the pure flame of the Spir­it aglow;

Filled with the love that is true and sin­cere

Love that is able to ban­ish all fear.

Oh

for a heart that is whit­er than snow!

Then in His grace and His know­ledge to grow

Growing like Him who my pat­tern shall be

Till in His beau­ty my king I shall see.
