More, My God, of Thee

Less, less of self each day, And more my God of Thee; Oh keep me in Thy way, However rough it be. Less of the flesh each day, Less of the world and sin More of Thy love, I pray, More of Thyself within. Riper and riper now, Each hour let me become Less fond of things below, More fit for such a home. More molded to Thy will, Lord, let Thy servant be; Higher and higher still - Nearer and nearer Thee.
