More Holiness Give Me

Came across this poem yesterday, and after just reading the umm... FIRST SENTENCE, found myself praying it aloud to God.

More Holiness Give Me

More holiness give me, more strivings within
More patience in suffering, more sorrow for sin
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 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

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 blessed and holy, more, Savior, like thee

-Philip P. Bliss
