1.我有一事求主玉成，因我一生违背主命，
或用水净或用火炼，使我洁净，使我洁净。
2.我愿离弃罪恶道途，但力甚弱不得成就，
所以至今深知心中，仍有污秽，仍有污秽。
3.求主为我启开心眼，既蒙此恩必然快乐，
今我切要洁净的心，求主允准，求主允准。
4.我愿靠主一生行为，如影随形必仿照主，
一言一行随时随处，荣耀天父，荣耀天父。
（副歌）
求主洗除我心污秽，若洗不净火炼也可，
不拘怎样，只要为我除尽罪孽，除尽罪孽。
1 One thing I of the Lord desire
For all my way hath miry been
Be it by water or by fire,
O make me clean!
2 If clearer vision Thou impart,
Grateful and glad my soul shall be;
But yet to have a purer heart
Is more to me.
3 Yea, only as the heart is clean
May larger vision yet be mine,
For mirrored in its depths are seen
The things divine.
4 I watch to shun the miry way,
And stanch the spring of guilty thought;
But, watch and wrestle as I may,
Pure I am not.
5 So wash Thou me without, within;
Or purge with fire, if that must be;
No matter how, if only sin
Die out in me.
