Purity
Lord Thou art as pure as light
Let Thou face be my delight
And if I burn at Thy sight
Then let Thy waves wash over me
On the fullest moon lit night
Ocean deep reflects the sky
Upon Thy waters a path of white
Then let Thy waves wash over me
If the rain from heaven’s store
Should upon me fall once more
The rocks and I shall sing the score
Then let Thy waves wash over me
And if my will be earthly bound
And even my thoughts can’t escape it’s sound
Then, my God, will Thy abound
And let Thy waves crash over me
Thy purity’s captivity
Despite my small capacity
Makes defiled eyes to see
And let Thy waves crash over me
I know that Thou will not deny
ThIne child’s prayer that he would die
Please make holy, don’t spare the knife
And let Thy waves crash over me
The pure in heart blessed be
For it is Thy face they see
To fear and seek Thou humbly
And let Thy waves crash over me
Thou art God of wrathful pleasure
Thy jealousy is beyond measure
Thy glory blesses us forever
Then let Thy waves crash over me
How can I ask for anything?
I am the servant; Thou art the King
It’s only Job’s response I bring
Then let Thy waves crash over me
I only ask what Thou hast said
To make Thy word my daily bread
To follow Thee and leave the dead
And let Thy waves crash over me
And may my eyes never part
And work in me Thine own heart
Thou hast loved me from the start
And let Thy waves crash over me
Lend me not a hindrance
Keep me from indifference
Hold me in Thy peace O’ Prince
And let Thy waves crash over me
My response to Thou shalt be
Never ending purity
“Be holy, as I am Holy”
Let Thy waves crash over me
