More and more the weight of glo­ry,
For our light af­flict­ions here;
Glory grand, su­preme, eter­nal,
If the cross for Christ we bear.

Refrain

More and more the weight of glo­ry,
More and more the love of God;
More of mu­sic in the sto­ry,
As we sing of Christ the Lord;
More of mu­sic in the sto­ry,
As we sing of Christ the Lord.

Lessons learned through pain and sor­row,
Break the ground for pre­cious seed;
Seed that buds and comes to blos­som,
Only in the hearts that bleed.

Refrain

O’er the fields where once were bat­tles,
Now the fair­est flow­ers are found;
So the souls that here have con­flicts,
More and more in grace abound.

Refrain

Looking on to things eter­nal,
Let us dai­ly die to sin;
To the end, by grace en­dur­ing,
We the glo­ry grand may win.
