Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: Christ in Song #604 (1908) First Line: More diligence give me Lyrics: 1 More diligence give me;
Swift flieth the day,
Each moment some lost one
Is passing away;
How can I be idle,
Christ knowing so well?
More diligence give me,
Love's story to tell.
2 More tenderness give me
For wandering sheep,
Like Jesus the Sheperd,
To search and to weep
In byways and hedges,
O'er desert and sea;
More tenderness give me
For sinners like me.
3 More gratitude give me,
More love for my Lord,
More gifts for the Giver
Who spreadeth my board;
More mem'ries of mercies,
More praises in pray'r,
More gladness in labor,
More trust with my care.
4 More purity give me,
More hatred of sin,
More hung'ring and thirsting
For goodness within;
More watching and praying,
From self to be free;
More fruits of the Spirit,
More, Jesus, of thee.
