More

My heart was full as I sang and felt the words of this hymn at church recently

 *More Holiness Give Me

More holiness give me,
More strivings within,
More patience in suff’ring,
...
More faith in my Savior,
More sense of his care,
More joy in his service,
More purpose in prayer.

More gratitude give me,
More trust in the Lord,
More pride in his glory,
More hope in his word,
....
More meekness in trial,
More praise for relief.

More purity give me,
More strength to o’ercome,
More freedom from earth-stains,
More longing for home.
More fit for the kingdom,
More used would I be,
More blessed and holy—
More, Savior, like thee.
************

In my prayers it seems I'm always asking, pleading, for "more" - more strength, more patience, more gratitude, ... more, Savior, like thee - in fact, my prayers often echo this hymn.
