hymn.

More holiness give me, more striving within
More patience in suff'ring, more sorrow for sin
More faith in my Savior, more sense of His care
More joy in His service, more purpose in prayer.

More gratitude give me, more trust in the Lord
More pride in His glory, more hope in His Word
More tears for His sorrows, more pain at His grief
More meekness in trial, more praise for relief.

More purity give me, more strength to o'ercome
More freedom from earth-stains, more longings for home
More fit for the kingdom, more used would I be
More blessed and holy, more, Savior, like Thee.

Philip Bliss, 1873
