"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."
(Isaiah 1:18)
What can be whiter than beautiful snow,
Coming from Heaven to earth below,
Pure and so white as it falleth light
Over this broad world of sin and woe?
Yes, there is something still whiter;
Hearken ye weary, and know!
Tho' your sins be as scarlet red,
They shall be whiter than snow.
Jesus has died, and now all men may know
That His rich blood for the world did flow;
Saved we may be, and from sin set free,
Washed and made whiter than beautiful snow.
Yes, there is something still whiter;
Hearken ye weary, and know!
Tho' your sins be as scarlet red,
They shall be whiter than snow.
Beautiful souls of His saints here below,
What but His blood could have made them so?
And who believe shall His grace receive,
And be made purer than Heaven-born snow.
Yes, there is something still whiter;
Hearken ye weary, and know!
Tho' your sins be as scarlet red,
They shall be whiter than snow.
Come to this Savior! He surely doth know
All your sorrow and sin and woe.
And when you sigh He will hear your cry,
Wash you more white than beautiful snow.
Yes, there is something still whiter;
Hearken ye weary, and know!
Tho' your sins be as scarlet red,
They shall be whiter than snow.
