Whiter Than Snow (Nicholson)

Lord Je­sus

I long

To be per­fect­ly whole;

I want Thee for­ev­er

To live in my soul.

Break down ev­ery id­ol

Cast out ev­ery foe;

Now wash me

and I

Shall be whit­er than snow.

Whiter than snow

Yes

whit­er than snow.

Now wash me

and I

Shall be whit­er than snow.

Lord Je­sus

let noth­ing

Unholy re­main

Apply Thine own blood

And ex­tract ev­ery stain;

To get this blest cleans­ing

I all things fore­go—

Now wash me

and I

Shall be whit­er than snow.

Lord Je­sus

look down

From Thy throne in the skies

And help me to make

A com­plete sac­ri­fice.

I give up my­self

And what­ev­er I know

Now wash me

and I

Shall be whit­er than snow.

Lord Je­sus

for this

I most hum­bly en­treat

I wait

bless­èd Lord

At Thy cru­ci­fied feet.

By faith

for my cleans­ing

I see Thy blood flow

Now wash me

and I

Shall be whit­er than snow.

Lord Je­sus

Thou seest

I pa­tient­ly wait

Come now

and with­in me

A new heart cre­ate;

To those who have sought Thee

Thou nev­er saidst No

Now wash me

and I

Shall be whit­er than snow.

The bless­ing by faith

I re­ceive from ab­ove;

O glo­ry! my soul

Is made per­fect in love;

My pray­er has pre­vailed

And this mo­ment I know

The blood is ap­plied

I am whit­er than snow.
