Lord, ¤teach me ¤how to ¤grow in grace;
Thy ¤pa¤tient ¤Spir¤it ¤now im¤part,
Pro¤¤duc¤ing hope and ¤con¤fi¤¤dence
With¤in the gar¤den ¤of my heart.

Love, ¤joy and ¤peace shall ¤then be seen,
And ¤spread their ¤fra¤grance ¤all a¤round;
Those ¤pleas¤ant fruits of ¤right¤eous¤¤ness
Shall grow and in my ¤soul a¤bound.

Long¤¤suf¤f’ring, ¤gen¤tle¤¤ness shall come,
And ¤good¤ness ¤fol¤low ¤in their train;
The ¤fruits of faith and ¤god¤li¤¤ness
Shall flour¤ish in my ¤soul a¤gain.

Meek¤¤ness and ¤tem¤p’rance ¤shall ap¤pear,
The ¤sign and ¤seal that ¤grace di¤vine,
The ¤love of truth and ¤ho¤li¤¤ness
Are dwell¤ing in this ¤heart of mine.
