Purer yet and purer

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 388 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Purer yet and purer I would be in mind, Dearer every and dearer Every duty find; Hoping still and trusting God without a fear, Patiently believing He will make all clear.

Verse 2

Calmer yet and calmer In the hours of pain, Surer yet and surer Peace at last to gain; Suffer still and doing, To His will resigned, And to God subduing Heart and will and mind.

Verse 3

Higher yet and higher Out of clouds and night, Nearer yet and nearer Rising to the light - Light serene and holy, Where my soul may rest, Purified and lowly, Sanctified and blest.

Verse 4

Swifter yet and swifter Ever onward run, Firmer yet and firmer Step as I go on; Oft these earnest longings Swell within my breast, Yet their inner meaning Ne'er can be expressed.
