“The hymn ‘More Holiness Give Me’ suggests a way to pray for help in becoming more holy. The author wisely suggests that the holiness we seek is a gift from a loving God, granted over time, after all we can do. You remember the last verse:

More purity give me, More strength to o’ercome,

More freedom from earth-stains, More longing for home.

More fit for the kingdom, More used would I be,

More blessed and holy— More, Savior, like thee.

Whatever our personal circumstance, wherever we may be on the covenant path home, may our prayers for greater holiness be answered. I know that as our petition is granted, our happiness will increase. It may come slowly, but it will come. I have that assurance from a loving Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.” – President Henry B. Eyring
