204. Purer Yet And Purer

1 Purer yet and purer
I would be in mind,
Dearer yet and dearer,
Ev'ry duty find;
Hoping still and trusting
God without a fear,
Patiently believing
He will make all clear.

2 Calmer yet and calmer,
Trial bear and pain;
Surer yet and surer,
Peace at last to gain;
Suff'ring 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;
Oft these earnest longings,
swell within my breast;
Yet their inner meaning
Ne'er can be expressed.
