1  Unto him that hath Thou givest

    Ever more abundantly;

    Lord, I live because Thou livest,

    Therefore give more life to me,

    Therefore speed me in the race,

    Therefore let me grow in grace.

 2  Deepen all Thy work, O Master,

    Strengthen every downward root;

    Only do Thou ripen faster,

    More and more Thy pleasant fruit;

    Purge me, prune me, self abase;

    Only let me grow in grace.

 3  Let me grow by sun and shower,

    Every moment water me;

    Make me really, hour by hour,

    More and more conformed to Thee,

    That Thy loving eye may trace

    Day by day my growth in grace.

 4  From Thy fulness grace outpouring,

    Show me ever greater things;

    Raise me higher, sunward soaring,

    Mounting as on eagle-wings.

    By the brightness of Thy face,

    Ever let me grow in grace.

 5  Let me, then, be always growing,

    Never, never standing still,

    Listening, learning, better knowing

    Thee and Thy most blessed will.

    Till I win the glorious race,

    Daily let me grow in grace.
