443. O for a heart that is whiter than snow

1 O for a heart that is whiter than snow,
Kept, ever kept ‘neath the life-giving flow,
Cleansed from all evil, self-seeking and pride,
Kept pure and holy by Calvary’s tide!

Refrain:
O for a heart whiter than snow!
Saviour divine, to whom else shall go?
Thou who didst die, loving me so,
Give me a heart that is whiter than snow.

2 O 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!

3 O 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!

4 O 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!
