Refrain: So wash me, Thou, without, within, Or purge with fire, if that must be, No matter how, if only sin Die out in me, die out in me. 2 If clearer vision Thou impart, Grateful and glad my soul shall be; But yet to have a purer heart Is more to me, Is more to me. [Refrain] 3 Yea, only as this heart is clean May larger vision yet be mine, For mirrored in its depths are seen The things divine, the things divine. [Refrain] 4 I watch to shun the miry way, And stanch the springs of guilty thought; But, watch and struggle as I may, Pure I am not, Pure I am not.

Walter G. Alcock

1861 - 1947 Person Name: Rev. Walter G. Smith Hymnal Title: Alexander's Hymns No. 2 Author of "A Clean Heart" in Alexander's Hymns No. 2 Walter Galpin Alcock United Kingdom 1861-1947. Born at Edenbridge, Kent, England, the son of the superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Orphanage at Fortescue, Twickenham. He was musically inclined. He won a scholarship to the National Training School for Music at age 15. There, he studied composition with Arthur Sullivan and organ with Sir John Stainer. After several brief posts at Holy Trinity Sloan Street and St Margaret’s Westminster, he was appointed Organ Professor at the Royal College of Music, London, in 1893. That year he married Naomi Blanche Lucas, and they had six daughters and a son: Naomi Judith, Dorothy Grace, Constance Marjorie, Ruth Blanche, Lucy Rachel, Kathleen Stainer, and Richard. In 1896 he was assistant organist of Westminster Abbey and concurrently organist and master of the children of the Chapel Royal (1902-1916). He became organist and Master of the Choristers of Salisbury Cathedral (1916-1947). He also oversaw a strictly faithful restoration of the famous Father Willis organ. He would not allow parts of the organ being refurbished to leave the cathedral, lest an unauthorized tonal alteration might be made without his approval, but he did work with the grandson of Father Willis, Henry Willis III, to modernize the organ’s action. Alcock had the distinction of playing at the coronation of three kings: Edward VII (1902); George V (1911); and George VI (1937). Between 1917-1924 he, with Harford Lloyd, juggled the post of Director of the Madrigal Society, assisting the ageing Sir Frederick Bridge, who had been appointed in 1888. Alcock was knighted in 1933 for services to music. He was a distinguished teacher, whose published material for organ students is still thought of value. He taught several notable pupils. He had the hobby of constructing a model railway at Salisbury on which choir boys could take rides. He was said to have all his musical talent and dexterity at the organ when age 80, that he had at age 50, and with greater maturity and mellowness. He died at age 85. His funeral service was at Salisbury Cathedral. John Perry

Walter C. Smith

1824 - 1908 Person Name: Rev. Walter C. Smith Hymnal Title: Christ in Song Author of "A Clean Heart" in Christ in Song Smith, Walter Chalmer, D.D., was born at Aberdeen Dec. 5, 1824, and educated at the Grammar School and University of that City. He pursued his Theological studies at Edinburgh, and was ordained Pastor of the Scottish Church in Chad well Street, Islington, London, Dec. 25, 1850. After holding several pastorates he became, in 1876, Minister of the Free High Church, Edinburgh. His contributions to poetical literature have been many and of great merit. His principal works are:— (1) The Bishop's Walk, 1860; (2) Olrig Grange, 1872; (3) Borland Hall, 1874; (4) Hilda among the Broken Gods, 1878; (5) North Country Folk, 1883; (6) Kildrostan, 1884; (7) Hymns of Christ and Christian Life, 1876. From his Hymns of Christ, &c, 1876, the following, after revision, were included in Horder's Congregational Hymns, 1884 :— 1. Immortal, Invisible, God only wise. God, All in All. 2. Lord, God, Omnipotent. Omnipotence. 3. Our portion is not here. Treasure in Heaven. 4. There is no wrath to be appeased. God is Love. In Horder's Congregational Hymns a new opening stanza was added to this hymn by Dr. Smith at the request of the editor, and in that collection the hymn begins "I vexed me with a troubled thought." Dr. Smith's hymns are rich in thought and vigorous in expression. They deserve and probably will receive greater notice than hitherto at the hands of hymnal compilers. [Rev. W. Garrett Horder] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================= Smith, W. C., p. 1064, i. The following additional hymns by Dr. Smith have come into common use, mainly through The Baptist Church Hymnal, 1900:— 1. Earth was waiting, spent and restless. Christmas. 2. Faint and weary Jesus stood. Our Lord's Temptation. 3. If any to the feast have come. Holy Communion. 4. The Lord hath hid His face from us. Providence. 5. To me to live is Christ. Union with Christ. These hymns appeared in his Hymns of Christ and the Christian Life, 1867, pp. Ill, 122, 241, 10, and 36, respectively. A collected ed. of his Poetical Works (not including his hymns) appeared in 1902. Other hymns that have come into use are:— 1. Gird your loins about with truth. Manliness. 2. Jesus, unto Whom we pray. Christ the Way. 3. One thing I of the Lord desire. Consecration. Nos. 1, 3 are from his Thoughts and Fancies for Sunday Evenings, 1887, pp. 3, 84. No. 2 is from his Hymns of Christ, 1867, p. 31. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
