WASH ME WHITER THAN SNOW, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Jesus, in whom the godhead's rays
Last Line: Till all I am is lost in thine.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus, in whom the Godhead's rays
Beam forth with mildest majesty;
I see Thee full of truth and grace,
And come for all I want to thee.

Save me from pride--the plague expel;
Jesus, Thine humble self impart:
O let Thy mind within me dwell;
O give me lowliness of heart.

Enter thyself, and cast out sin;
Thy spotless purity bestow:
Touch me, and make the leper clean;
Wash me, and I am white as snow.

Sprinkle me, Saviour, with Thy blood,
And all Thy gentleness is mine;
And plunge me in the purple flood,
Till all I am is lost in Thine.
