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
