More and More the Weight of Glory

More and more the weight of glo­ry

For our light af­flict­ions here;

Glory grand

su­preme

eter­nal

If the cross for Christ we bear.

More and more the weight of glo­ry

More and more the love of God;

More of mu­sic in the sto­ry

As we sing of Christ the Lord;

More of mu­sic in the sto­ry

As we sing of Christ the Lord.

Lessons learned through pain and sor­row

Break the ground for pre­cious seed;

Seed that buds and comes to blos­som

Only in the hearts that bleed.

O’er the fields where once were bat­tles

Now the fair­est flow­ers are found;

So the souls that here have con­flicts

More and more in grace abound.

Looking on to things eter­nal

Let us dai­ly die to sin;

To the end

by grace en­dur­ing

We the glo­ry grand may win.
