Whiter than Snow
Author: James L. Nicholson Appears in 660 hymnals Scripture: John 6:37 First Line: Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole Refrain First Line: Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want You forever to live in my soul,
Break down every idol, cast out every foe;
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Chorus:
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
2 Lord Jesus, look down from Your throne in the skies,
And help me to make a complete sacrifice;
I give up myself, and whatever I know,
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. (Chorus)
3 Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat,
I wait, blessed Lord, at Your crucified feet;
By faith, for my cleansing I see Your blood flow,
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. (Chorus)
4 Lord Jesus, You see that I patiently wait,
Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought You, You never said "No,"
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. (Chorus)

I'll Praise My Maker While I've Breath
Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 527 hymnals Scripture: John 6:37 Lyrics: 1 I’ll praise my Maker while I’ve breath,
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall possess my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are those whose hopes rely
on God the Lord, who made the sky,
and earth, the sea, the night and day;
his truth for ever stands secure,
he keeps his promise to the poor,
and none who seeks is turned away.
3 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind,
he calms and heals the troubled mind;
he sends the wounded conscience peace;
he helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.
4 I’ll praise him while he lends me breath,
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise shall are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures.

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus,; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Scripture: John 6:40 First Line: Come, you faithful raise the strain Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendor,
with the royal feast of feasts
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus’ resurrection!
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.

Oft in danger, oft in woe
Author: Henry Kirke White, 1785-1806 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 348 hymnals Scripture: John 6:35 Lyrics: 1 Oft in danger, oft in woe,
onward, Christians, onward go;
bear the toil, maintain the strife,
strengthened with the bread of life.
2 Onward, Christians, onward go,
join the war, and face the foe;
will ye flee in danger's hour?
Know ye not your Captain's power?
3 Let not sorrow dim your eye;
soon shall every tear be dry:
let not fears your course impede;
great your strength, if great your need.
4 Let your drooping hearts be glad;
march in heavenly armour clad;
fight, nor think the battle long:
soon shall victory wake your song.
5 Onward then in battle move;
more than conquerors ye shall prove:
though opposed by many a foe,
Christian soldiers, onward go.

rich banquet of his flesh and blood!
