More holiness give me (Mer helighet giv mig)

1. More holiness give me,
more strivings within.
More patience in suffering,
more sorrow for sin.
More faith in my Saviour,
more sense of His care.
More joy in His service,
more purpose in prayer.

2. More gratitude give me,
more trust in the Lord.
More zeal for 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.

3. More purity give me,
more strength to o’ercome.
More freedom from earth-stains,
more longings for home.
More fit for the kingdom,
more useful I’d be,
More blessèd and holy,
more, Saviour, like Thee.

1. Mer helighet giv mej,
mer mildhet, o Gud,
mer sorg över synden,
mer lust för ditt bud,
mer tjänande kärlek,
som ej söker lön,
mer tro på min Jesus,
mer kraft i min bön.

2. Mer tacksamhet giv mej,
mer saktmodigt sinn´,
mer iver att söka
din ära, ej min,
mer smärta med Jesus,
mer fröjd av hans tröst,
mer styrka att lida,
mer frid vid hans bröst.

3. Mer tålamod giv mej
mer salighetshopp
att frigjord från världen
mot målet se opp.
Mer uthållig gör mej,
på frukter mer rik,
mer redo för himlen,
mer, Jesus, dej lik.
