1 Dear Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want thee 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 Dear Jesus, thou seest I patiently wait;
Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought thou never saidst No;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus]

3 Dear Jesus, let nothing unholy remain;
Apply thine own blood and extract every stain;
To have this blest cleansing I all things forego;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus]
