1 When once I begged Thee "save my soul," Thy mercy fast did meet me; My scarlet sins turned white as snow As Thou did change me deeply.
2 Yet bends my heart to empty fare Where fruitless lands receive me, And stays the joy Thy yoke would share ’Till Lord Thou change me deeply.
3 If furnace fire that burns the dross Will make me fit to please Thee, Then help me now pick up my cross That Thou might change me deeply.
4 For when salvation fullness comes In clouds where I shall see Thee, What joy to hear Thy word "well done," If now Thou change me deeply.
5 And then at last will come the hour To consummate completely Thy wonder of resurrection pow’r As Thou shall change me deeply.Source: The Cyber Hymnal #13094
