O Heart of Purity Like Gold
Still life shadows fall like leaves from the eye
Sad breaks the day across a sodden sky
In time's forbidden sway I turn to God
To mend my sorry way, and melt the sod
And late yet I came still joy my heart knew
His love is answer, nor mercy fails you
(chorus)
O heart of purity like gold, O joy
Of any burdened soul, I sing thy praise
In love manifold, nor fear can destroy
Thy care for all, in beauty bloom thy ways
Come calm the troubled sea of me I plead
With balm of every drop of blood you bleed
And wash my wounded heart to yield its care
And shed the dross of foolish earth's despair
O mercy boundless as the sea, I bring
My All to thee, for ransomed joy I sing
