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.
