O come to the Savior,
O come and be cleansed
As pure as the waters that flow;
O come in the morning,
O come while you may,
And you shall be whiter than snow.
Refrain
Whiter than snow,
White, whiter than snow;
Come to the Savior,
O come and be cleansed,
Come and be whiter than snow.
O come to the Savior,
O do not delay,
For life with us quickly doth go;
O heed the kind warning,
O come while you may,
And you shall be whiter than snow.
Refrain
O come to the Savior,
O come and find peace,
Yes, come and find balm for your woe;
O come while He’s calling,
O come while you may,
And you shall be whiter than snow.
Refrain
