Song Lyrics
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
Calmer yet and calmer, in the hour of pain
Surer yet and surer, peace at last to gain
Suffering still and doing, to His will resigned
And to joy subduing heart and will and mind
Higher yet and higher, out of clouds and sight
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
Alternate verse:
Swifter yet and swifter, ever onward run
Firmer yet and firmer, step as I go on
Light serene and holy, where my soul may rest
Purified and holy, sanctified and blessed
