Lord 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.
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.
Whiter than snow; yes, whiter than snow;
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Lord Jesus, let nothing unholy remain,
Apply Thine own blood and extract every stain;
To get this blest cleansing I all things forego;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Apply Thine own blood and extract every stain;
To get this blest cleansing I all things forego;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Lord Jesus, look down from Thy throne in the skies,
And help me to make a complete sacrifice;
I give up myself and whatever I know;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
And help me to make a complete sacrifice;
I give up myself and whatever I know;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
4
Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat;
I wait, blessed Lord, at Thy crucified feet;
By faith, for my cleansing I see Thy blood flow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
I wait, blessed Lord, at Thy crucified feet;
By faith, for my cleansing I see Thy blood flow;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
5
Lord Jesus, Thou seest I patiently wait;
Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought Thee Thou never saidst, No;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought Thee Thou never saidst, No;
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Praise the Lord oh my Soul! I was having my morning devotion and this hymn came to my mind. I had forgotten some of the lyrics and decided to look for it. What a blessing the prayer is. Thank you. I have never heard verse 6 before what a wonderful conclusion to a wonderful hymn! Blessings to you.
Beautiful hymn for the people to turn from their wicked ways and seek God

My prayer is always to be perfectly whole. Lord attend to my cry. You are the deliverer and when I think of the disastrous condition that the United States has fallen, I know your coming is soon; and I want to be perfectly whole when you come. This song touches my heart.

Beautiful hymn. My mother tought me this song during our night devotion as a kid. Songs like these are embedded in my Spirit. I'm grateful she thought me about the Lord Jesus. Best relationship ever!

You forgot the last stanza:
6. The blessing by faith I receive from above
O glory my soul is made perfect in love.
My prayer has prevailed and this moment I know
The blood is applied to be whiter than snow
