[Verse 1]
Adorn me not with gold below,
Nor outward pride that fades away,
But clothe my heart with grace to show
The Spirit's light from day to day.
[Chorus]
O Father, cleanse my heart within,
Remove all idols from my way,
Let outward beauty die to sin,
And inward grace shine bright each day.
[Verse 2]
A gentle heart, a quiet soul,
Is precious in Jehovah's sight,
Let holiness my life control,
And keep my garment pure and white.
[Chorus]
O Father, cleanse my heart within,
Remove all idols from my way,
Let outward beauty die to sin,
And inward grace shine bright each day.
[Verse 3]
As holy women trusted God,
And walked in meekness, faith, and fear,
So let Thy daughters bear Thy rod,
And keep Thy sacred presence near.
[Chorus]
O Father, cleanse my heart within,
Remove all idols from my way,
Let outward beauty die to sin,
And inward grace shine bright each day.
[Verse 4]
The gold men dig from hidden ground
Was not for pride upon the flesh,
Where spirits move, and sins abound,
O Lord, renew my soul afresh.
[Chorus]
O Father, cleanse my heart within,
Remove all idols from my way,
Let outward beauty die to sin,
And inward grace shine bright each day.
[Verse 5]
The world may choose its path of pride,
But I must walk the holy way,
With Christ my Saviour as my Guide,
I give all sinful things away.
[Chorus]
O Father, cleanse my heart within,
Remove all idols from my way,
Let outward beauty die to sin,
And inward grace shine bright each day.
[Verse 6]
I lay my treasures at Thy feet,
My ornaments, my pride, my will,
Make my obedience pure and sweet,
And teach my restless heart be still.
[Final Chorus]
O Father, cleanse my heart within,
Remove all idols from my way,
Let outward beauty die to sin,
And inward grace shine bright each day.
