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.
