388 ~ Purer Yet and Purer
1
Purer yet and purer I would be in mind, Dearer every and dearer Every duty find; Hoping still and trusting God without a fear, Patiently believing He will make all clear.
2
Calmer yet and calmer In the hours of pain, Surer yet and surer Peace at last to gain; Suffer still and doing, To His will resigned, And to God subduing Heart and will and mind.
3
Higher yet and higher Out of clouds and night, Nearer yet and nearer Rising to the light - Light serene and holy, Where my soul may rest, Purified and lowly, Sanctified and blest.
4
Swifter yet and swifter Ever onward run, Firmer yet and firmer Step as I go on; Oft these earnest longings Swell within my breast, Yet their inner meaning Ne'er can be expressed.
