My heart has been sighing, O Jesus, for thee,
A conflict is raging within;
I long to be holy and perfectly free
From doubting and sorrow and sin.
Wash me today, wash me today,
And I shall be whiter than snow;
Wash me, oh, wash me,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
The dross of my nature, oh, melt it away,
My soul's every evil remove:
Oh, wash out the stains that may linger, I pray,
And clothe me with life from above.
Wash me today, wash me today,
And I shall be whiter than snow;
Wash me, oh, wash me,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
Create in me, Saviour, a heart truly whole,
Renew a right spirit within;
Reveal thy great joy to my sorrowing soul,
And now let the cleansing be.
Wash me today, wash me today,
And I shall be whiter than snow;
Wash me, oh, wash me,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
I rest in thy promise, I know it is mine,
Thy presence is with me, I know;
In claiming thy glorious fulness divine
My soul is made whiter than snow.
Wash me today, wash me today,
And I shall be whiter than snow;
Wash me, oh, wash me,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
