Joyful Lays ‎#81

81. Purer yet and purer

1 Purer yet and purer
I would be in mind,
Dearer yet 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
Trial bear and pain,
Surer yet and surer
Peace at last to gain;
Suffering still and doing,
To his will resigned,
And to God subduing
Heart and will and mind.

3 Quicker yet and quicker
Ever onward press,
Firmer yet and firmer
Step as I progress;
Higher yet and higher
Out of clouds and night,
Nearer yet and nearer,
Rising to the light.
