1 Purer in heart, O God,
help me to be;
may I devote my life
wholly to thee.
Watch thou my wayward feet,
guide me with counsel sweet;
purer in heart,
help me to be.

2 Purer in heart, O God,
help me to be;
teach me to do thy will
most lovingly.
Be thou my friend and guide,
let me with thee abide;
purer in heart,
help me to be.

3 Purer in heart, O God,
help me to be;
that I thy holy face
one day may see.
Keep me from secret sin,
reign thou my soul within;
purer in heart,
help me to be.
