More Holiness Give Me is a Hymn found in the LDS hymnbook. Here are the lyrics of the first verse.
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.
This Hymn is meant to be sung "Prayerfully"
Every time I sing this beautiful hymn I take the words to heart and sing this prayer to our Father in Heaven.
Holiness is defined as: a state of being holy; total devotion to God.
Striving is a verb meaning to make great efforts to achieve something.
Here we pray that we will be given the motivation or desire to put forth great effort towards total devotion to God. He doesn't expect us to get there immediately which is why we pray for "Patience in suffering" and sorrow for sin.
We all sin, and the first step to repentance is sorrow for our sins. In order to repent we must also have faith in our Savior. As we develop a sense of His care we truly come to understand His atonement which draws us closer to Him.
We need to enjoy keeping the commandments He's given us, and when we pray we should always have a purpose. I know that having more purpose in prayer will change your life. When you pray about specific things then you get specific answers in return.
I know there are some people who don't have a particular love for the Hymns, but I promise that there is power in singing, or at least understanding the Hymns that we sing. As you listen to, or sing Hymns I challenge you to ponder the words and see how you can apply the message into your life.
