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 by as thy day. Keep thyself pure! Thrice bless?d 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.
