1. I learned it in the Bible,
A tender little pray’r;
And when the flakes are falling
So beautiful and fair,
I say to my dear Saviour this little pray’r I know:
“Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”

2. For I have often griev’d Him
With sinful words and ways,
I’d ask Him to forgive me,
And help me all my days;
He shed His blood so precious,
Because He loved me so:
“Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”

3. I want to be like Jesus,
That His pure eyes may see
A heart made clean and spotless,
To serve Him faithfully;
And so I’ll ask Him daily
His mercy to bestow:
“Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
