Sheet music
- 1Purer yet and purerI would be in mind,Dearer yet and dearer,Ev’ry duty find;Hoping still and trusting God without a fear,Patiently believingHe will make all clear.
- 2Calmer yet and calmer,Trial bear and pain;Surer yet and surer,Peace at last to gain;Suff’ring still and doing,To His will resigned;And to God subduingHeart and will and mind.
- 3Higher yet and higher,Out of clouds and night;Nearer yet and nearer,Rising to the light;Oft these earnest longings,Swell within my breast;Yet their inner meaningNe’er can be expressed.
