| 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. |
