Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Savior art
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure Thy grace bestow
Wash me whiter than the snow
Make me pure Thy grace bestow

Sinners then shall learn from me
And return O God to Thee;
Savior all my guilt remove
And my tongue shall sing Thy love;
Touch my silent lips O Lord
And my mouth shall praise accord
Touch my silent lips O Lord
And my mouth shall praise accord.
