Two Hymns: Help Me Teach With Inspiration and More Holiness Give Me

Two hymns in one post. I know I'm his Mom, but I'm amazed at what he's able to put together on the fly like this.  "Help Me Teach With Inspiration" and "More Holiness Give Me." The lyrics for the two hymns are below.

Help Me Teach With Inspiration

  1. 1. Help me teach with inspiration;
    Grant this blessing, Lord, I pray.
    Help me lift a soul's ambition
    To a higher, nobler way.
  2. 2. Help me reach a friend in darkness;
    Help me guide him thru the night.
    Help me show thy path to glory
    By the Spirit's holy light.
  3. 3. Fill my mind with understanding;
    Tune my voice to echo thine.
    Touch my hand with gentle friendship;
    Warm my heart with love divine.
  4. 4. Help me find thy lambs who wander;
    Help me bring them to thy keep.
    Teach me, Lord, to be a shepherd;
    Father, help me feed thy sheep.
  5. Text and music: Lorin F. Wheelwright, 1909-1987 (c) 1958, 1985 Lorin F. Wheelwright.

    More Holiness Give Me

    1. 1. More holiness give me,
      More strivings within,
      More patience in suff'ring,
      More sorrow for sin,
      More faith in my Savior,
      More sense of his care,
      More joy in his service,
      More purpose in prayer.
    2. 2. More gratitude give me,
      More trust in the Lord,
      More pride in his glory,
      More hope in his word,
      More tears for his sorrows,
      More pain at his grief,
      More meekness in trial,
      More praise for relief.
    3. 3. 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.
    4. Text and music: Philip Paul Bliss, 1838-1876
