1.

When hearts have been cleansed and made holy,
All evil is driven away.
God says when we trust in Him solely,
The blessings pour out night and day.

Chorus:

Cleanse out! Cleanse out!
All evil and wickedness drive away!
Cleanse out! Cleanse out!
Away with all evil today!

2.

God keeps every promise He’s given.
His blessings untold He will share.
Few taste here such blessings from heaven.
Most think they will come over there.

3.

You’re chosen by Jesus, dear brothers,
God’s blessings to all to impart,
To share heaven’s treasures with others,
Anointing the contrite of heart.

4.

“With joy I will give what I’m given.”
’Twas this the apostle once said.
Sin’s woe will be far from us driven;
We’re giving and blessing instead.

5.

With joy do what God does require!
Then blessings He’ll pour down like rain!
He’ll answer your fervent desire.
Be ready! You’ve not prayed in vain.
