Purer in Heart, O God
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.
Words: Fannie E. Davison, in Songs of Gratitude (Cincinnati, Ohio: 1877).
What a beautiful water wall.
An appropriate prayer for us all…
Watch Thou my wayward feet,
Guide me with counsel sweet;
These are the words that speak most directly to me today. I am so thankful for that “counsel sweet.”
I loved this wall of water!
Oh I want my heart pure! Wash me so I will be whiter than snow!
What an inspiring prayer. Blessed are the pure in heart….
