Lyrics

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.
