Thou didst teach the thronging people By blue Galilee; Speak to us, Thy erring children, Teach us purity. Thou Whose touch could heal the leper, Make the blind to see; Touch our hearts and turn the sinning Unto purity. Thou Whose word could still the tempest, Calm the raging sea; Hush the storm of human passion; Give us purity. Thou didst sinless meet the tempter; Grant, O Christ, that we May o'ercome the bent to evil By Thy purity. .
