|
<p>Purer yet and purer, I would be in mind,<br>
|
|
Dearer yet and dearer, every duty find;<br>
|
|
Hoping still, and trusting God without a fear,<br>
|
|
Patiently believing He will make all clear.</p>
|
|
<p>Calmer yet and calmer, in the hour of pain,<br>
|
|
Surer yet and surer, peace at last to gain;<br>
|
|
Suffering still and doing, to His will resigned,<br>
|
|
And to joy subduing heart and will and mind.</p>
|
|
<p>Higher yet and higher, out of clouds and sight,<br>
|
|
Nearer yet and nearer, rising to the Light;<br>
|
|
Light serene and holy, where my soul may rest,<br>
|
|
Purified and holy, sanctified and blessed.</p>
|
|
<p>Swifter yet and swifter, ever onward run,<br>
|
|
Firmer yet and firmer, step as I go on;<br>
|
|
Oft these earnest longings swell within my breast,<br>
|
|
Yet their inner meaning ne’er can be expressed.</p>
