Purer in heart, O God, help me to be;

May I devote my life wholly to Thee:

Watch Thou my wayward feet,

Guide me with counsel sweet;

Purer in heart, help me to be.

Purer in heart, O God, help me to be;

Teach me to do Thy will most lovingly;

Be Thou my Friend and Guide,

Let me with Thee abide;

Purer in heart, help me to be.

Purer in heart, O God, help me to be;

Until Thy holy face one day I see:

Keep me from secret sin,

Reign Thou my soul within;

Purer in heart, help me to be.
