(Refrain) Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin, I am so glad I have entered in; There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean, Glory to His name. (Refrain)
The statutes of the L ORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the L ORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Ṭahor, by contrast, is defined as "pure" in the sense that the person or object is in a clear state and can/may potentially serve as a conduit for Divine and Godly manifestation.
