Author: Christopher Newman Hall, 1816-1902 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1606 First Line: Fountain of purity opened for sin Refrain First Line: Whiter than snow, whiter than snow Lyrics: 1. Fountain of purity opened for sin
Here may the penitent wash and be clean;
Jesus, Thou blessèd Redeemer from woe,
Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Refrain
Whiter than snow, whiter than snow,
Wash me, Redeemer,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
2. Though I have labored again and again,
All my self-cleansing is utterly vain;
Jesus, Redeemer from sorrow and woe,
Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]
3. Cleanse Thou the thoughts of my heart, I implore,
Help me Thy light to reflect more and more;
Daily in loving obedience to grow,
Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain]
4. Whiter than snow! nothing further I need,
Christ is the Fountain; this only I plead;
Jesus, my Savior, to Thee will I go,
Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Fountain of purity opened for sin]
