Lyics

PURER in heart, O God,

Help me to be;

May I devote my life

Wholly to thee.

Watch thou my wayward feet,

Guide me with counsel sweet;

Purer in heart,

Help me to be.



Purer in heart, O God,

Help me to be;

Teach me to do thy will

Most lovingly.



Be thou my Friend and Guide,

Let me with thee abide;

Purer in heart,

Help me to be.



Purer in heart, O God,

Help me to be;

That I thy holy face

One day may see.

Keep me from secret sin,

Reign thou my soul within;

Purer in heart,

Help me to be.
