my silent plea

More holiness give me,
More strivings within,
More patience in suffering,
More sorrow from 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 in his sorrow,
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 earthstains,
More longing for home,
More fit for the kingdom,
More used would I be,
More blessed and holy
More, Savior, like thee.

-Hymn #131, More Holiness Give Me
