Whiter Than Snow

D. S. Warner • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 51:7

Verse 1

Rejoice, little ones, in the promise divine, The Savior has willed that His glory be thine; Then walk in white raiment with Him here below, The sheep of His fold must be whiter than snow.

Chorus

Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow; Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow.

Verse 2

Look upward to Jesus, He’s mighty to save; His love like the ocean, oh, sink in its wave; Here wash in the blood of the Crucified One, And shout His salvation in heaven begun.

Chorus

Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow; Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow.

Verse 3

Adieu to this world, if you’d follow the Lord, For none but the pure are received by His word; Unspotted from sin and made perfect in love, As pure in this world as in heaven above.

Chorus

Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow; Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow.

Verse 4

We go not to heaven, salvation to know, But Jesus came down to make whiter than snow; He’ll wait no death’s coming assistance to lend, But save you just now, and to worlds without end.

Chorus

Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow; Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow.

Verse 5

Oh, do not dishonor the name of our King To think that you cannot be free from all sin; He died to redeem you, His promise is sure, He’ll wash you and keep you eternally pure.

Chorus

Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow; Whiter than snow, Whiter than snow.
