Joy to the World ‎#9

9. As White as Snow

1 "As white as snow!" Oh can it be,
That these sweet words were meant for me.
Ah, what a rapture 'tis to know,
That I may be "as white as snow."

Refrain:
White as snow, white as snow,
That I may be as white as snow.

2 Long time I wandered from my God,
In paths by none but sinners trod;
But Jesus sought me there, and oh,
His robes were all "as white as snow." [Refrain]

3 He called to me; in vain I sought
To turn from him in act or thought;
My soul was sick of sin and woe,
And longed to be "as white as snow." [Refrain]

4 I followed him he leads me on,
The pearly gates are almost won,
Afar the heavenly mansions glow,
Where I shall dwell, "as white as snow." [Refrain]

5 "As white as snow," was meant for thee,
And all who will from sin be free;
The rich, the poor, the high, the low,
Thro' faith may be "as white as snow." [Refrain]
