756. LORD JESUS I LONG


LORD Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole
I want Thee for ever to live in my soul
Break down every idol, cast out every foe,
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

CHORUS

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 forgo
Now wash me and I shall be white 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 blessed 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.
