I Want that Adorning Divine

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Hymns of Consecration and Faith #24 (1902) Lyrics: 1 I want that adorning Divine Thou only, my God, can’st bestow; I want in those beautiful garments to shine, Which distinguish Thy household below. 2 I want ev’ry moment to feel That Thy Spirit resides in my heart, His pow’r ever present to cleanse and to heal, And newness of life to impart. 3 I want, oh I want to attain Some likeness, my Saviour, to Thee! That long’d-for resemblance once more to regain; Thy comeliness put upon me. 4 I want to be marked for Thy own. Thy seal on my forehead to wear; To receive that “new name” on the mystic white stone, Which none but Thyself can declare. 5 I want—and this sums up my prayer— To glorify Thee till I die; Then calmly to yield up my soul to Thy care, And breath out, in faith, my last sigh.
