O for a Heart Whiter than Snow

Verse 1

Oh, for a heart that is whiter than snow, Kept, ever kept ’neath the life-giving flow, Cleansed from all passion, self-seeking and pride, Washed in the fountain of Calvary’s tide.

Chorus

Oh, for a heart whiter than snow! Savior divine, to whom else shall I go? Thou who didst die, loving me so, Give me a heart that is whiter than snow!

Verse 2

Oh, 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.

Verse 3

Oh, 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.

Verse 4

Oh, 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.
