PURITY

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.
Like a lily white and spotless, Like the foam upon the sea, Like a cloud of fleecy beauty, The pure in heart must be.
Not a thought of sin or folly, Or resentment for our wrongs, Not a word or deed of evil, To the pure in heart belongs.
Oh, the need of a loving Saviour! For abroad is a wily foe, And the heart of man is sinful; But it may be white as snow.
For the fount of God's great mercy, Like a heaving, cleansing wave, Is for those who see their errors, And who flee to Christ to save.
All the peace that God has promised To his children here below, All the light of unseen glory, The pure in heart will know.
Soon a city, many mansioned, With wide avenues of gold, And the Prince of Life eternal, Will the pure in heart behold.
