First Line: Come pure in heart before this hallowed fane
Last Line: All ocean's water shall not wash away
Subject(s): Sin
COME pure in heart before this hallowed fane,
Your hands fresh sprinkled with the fountain spray:
Few drops the good need; but a foul soul's stain
All ocean's water shall not wash away.
