Lyrics

Fountain of pu­ri­ty op­ened for sin
Here may the pe­ni­tent wash and be clean;
Jesus, Thou bless­èd Re­deem­er from woe,
Wash me and I shall be whit­er than snow.

Refrain

Whiter than snow, whit­er than snow,
Wash me, Re­deem­er,
And I shall be whit­er than snow.

Though I have la­bored again and again,
All my self-cleans­ing is ut­ter­ly vain;
Jesus, Re­deem­er from sor­row and woe,
Wash me and I shall be whit­er than snow.

Refrain

Cleanse Thou the thoughts of my heart, I im­plore,
Help me Thy light to re­flect more and more;
Daily in lov­ing obe­di­ence to grow,
Wash me and I shall be whit­er than snow.

Refrain

Whiter than snow! no­thing fur­ther I need,
Christ is the Fount­ain; this on­ly I plead;
Jesus, my Sav­ior, to Thee will I go,
Wash me and I shall be whit­er than snow.
