Lord! whose love, in power ex­cel­ling,
Washed the le­per’s stain away,
Jesus! from Thy hea­ven­ly dwell­ing,
Hear us, help us, when we pray!

From the filth of vice and fol­ly.
From in­fu­ri­ate pass­ion’s rage,
Evil thoughts and hopes un­ho­ly.
Heedless youth and self­ish age;

From the lusts whose deep pol­lu­tions
Adam’s an­cient taint dis­close.
From the Temp­ter’s dark in­tru­sions,
Restless doubt and blind re­pose;

From the mis­er’s curs­èd trea­sure,
From the drunk­ard’s jest ob­scene,
From the world, its pomp and plea­sure,
Jesus! Mas­ter! make us clean!
