Unto Him that hath Thou givest (Alternate)

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.

Therefore speed me in the race

Therefore let me grow in grace.

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.

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.

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.

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.
