I did thee wrong, my God;
I wronged thy truth and love;
I fretted at the rod,—
Against thy power I strove.
Come nearer, nearer still;
Let not thy light depart;
Bend, break this stubborn will;
Dissolve this iron heart!
Less wayward let me be,
More pliable and mild;
In glad simplicity
More like a trustful child.
Less, less of self each day,
And more, my God, of thee;
Oh, keep me in the way,
However rough it be.
Less of the flesh each day,
Less of the world and sin:
More of thy Son, I pray,
More of thyself within.
More moulded to thy will,
Lord, let thy servant be;
Higher and higher still,
More, and still more, like thee!
