Joyful Lays ‎#73

73. More, more like Thee

1 Grant me a deeper love,
Saviour Divine,
Love that has learned to say,
No will but Thine;
Draw me from earth away,
Help me to watch and pray;
O make me ev'ry day
More, more like Thee.

2 Grant me a trusting love,
Guileless and pure;
Still with a cheerful heart
All to endure;
Guide Thou my onward way,
Help me to watch and pray;
O make me ev'ry day
More, more like Thee.

3 Grant me a pleading love,
Lost souls to win;
Cleanse me from secret faults,
Dwell thou within;
Purge all my dross away,
Help me to watch and pray;
O make me ev'ry day
More, more like Thee.

4 Grant me forgiving love;
Thou didst forgive;
Nearer the cross with Thee
Still would I live;
Be Thou thro' life my stay,
Help me to watch and pray;
O make me ev'ry day
More, more like Thee.
