WHITER THAN THE SNOW
Yesterday I showed you a picture of our hymn books which we keep beside our dining room table. We also have hymn sheets which I have printed out with mostly hymns that we can’t find in our hymn book. As you can see, they look welI-used. I also have a fourth one on my computer which is nearly ready to print out.When the young grandchildren are with us for devotions, they love to choose which color they would like and then choose the hymn. They often choose the yellow sheets so they can ask for No. 9, JOY IS A FLAG, which they all love to sing with great gusto with us all waving our hymn sheets in the air for our flags.
This morning at family devotions we sang No. 8 on our yellow sheets, WHITER THAN THE SNOW. Such a wonderful hymn.
1.
Blessed be the fountain of blood,
To a world of sinners revealed;
Blessed be the dear Son of God—
Only by His stripes we are healed.
Though I’ve wandered far from His fold,
Bringing to my heart pain and woe,
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
Refrain:
Whiter than the snow,
Whiter than the snow;
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
2.
Thorny was the crown that He wore,
And the cross His body o’ercame;
Grievous were the sorrows He bore,
But He suffered thus not in vain.
May I to that fountain be led,
Made to cleanse my sins here below;
Wash me in the blood that He shed,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
3.
Father, I have wandered from Thee,
Often has my heart gone astray;
Crimson do my sins seem to me—
Water cannot wash them away.
Jesus, to that fountain of Thine,
Leaning on Thy promise, I go;
Cleanse me by Thy washing divine,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
Blessings from Nancy Campbell
