Keep Thyself Pure

Keep thy­self pure! Christ’s sol­dier

hear

Through life’s loud strife

the calls rings clear.

Thy cap­tain speaks: His word ob­ey;

So shall thy strength be as thy day.

Keep thy­self pure! Thrice bless­èd he

Whose heart from taint of sin is free;

His feet shall stand where saints have trod

He with rapt eyes shall see his God.

Keep thy­self pure! For He who died

Himself for thy sake sanc­ti­fied;

Then hear Him speak­ing from the skies

And vic­tor o’er temp­ta­tion rise.

O Ho­ly Spir­it

keep us pure

Grant us Thy strength when sins al­lure;

Our bo­dies are Thy tem­ple

Lord;

Be Thou in thought and act ad­ored.
