Keep thyself pure!
Christ’s soldier, hear,
Through life’s loud strife,
the calls rings clear.
Thy Captain speaks: His word obey;
So shall thy strength by as thy day.
Keep thyself pure! When lusts assail,
when flesh is strong and spirit frail,
fight on--a fadeless crown thy meed--
thy body as thy captive lead.
Keep thyself pure! Thrice blessèd he
Whose heart from taint of sin is free;
His feet shall stand
where saints have trod,
He with rapt eyes shall see his God.
Keep thyself pure! For He Who died,
Himself for thy sake sanctified;
Then hear Him speaking
from the skies,
And victor o’er temptation rise.
O Holy Spirit, keep us pure,
Grant us Thy strength
when sins allure;
Our bodies are Thy temple, Lord;
Be Thou in thought and act adored.
