I want that adorning divine

I want that adorning divine

Thou only

my Lord

canst bestow;

I want in those beautiful garments to shine

Which mark out Thy beauty below.

I want every moment to feel

Thy Spirit indwelling my heart

His pow’r ever present to cleanse and to heal

And newness of life to impart.

I want

oh

I want to attain

Some likeness

my Savior

to Thee;

That longed-for resemblance once more to regain;

Thy comeliness put upon me.

I want to be marked for Thine own

Thy seal on my forehead to wear;

And have that new name on the mystic white stone

Which none but Thyself can declare.

I want

and this sums up my prayer

To glorify Thee till I die;

Then calmly to yield up my soul to Thy care

And breathe out in faith my last sigh!
