I want to be purer in heart, to hope and to trust without fear
I want to find dearer His word, believing that God will make it clear.
I want to be calm and assured till all he reveals is made plain
I want to be subdued by grace in trial or triumph, pleasure or pain.
I want to fly higher and higher on thoughts of my Lord and delight
I want to draw nearer and nearer to the one who reigns in me in light.
I want to be with my savior, I want to enter His rest
I want to be found a good steward, faithful throughout every test.
