by Andrew Murray

Chapter XIV

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me

7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me,

and I shall be whiter than snow.

8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which

Thou hast broken may rejoice.

9. Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

01
‘Do Thou with hyssop sprinkle me,
I shall be cleansed so;
Yea, wash Thou me, and then I shall
be whiter than the snow.

Of gladness and of joy fulness

make me to hear the wice:
That so these very bones which Thou

hast broken may rejoice.

—Scottish Psalter.
