I want that adorning divine,
|
|
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | 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. |
| 3. | 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. |
| 4. | 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. |
| 5. | 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! |
