188. What I Ought to Be

1 Weary of myself, my folly and my pride,
Weary of self seeking Lord, be Thou my Guide.
Only make me pure, I shall be satisfied;
Make me what I ought to be.

Refrain:
Make me what I ought to be,
Help me to be more like Thee;
Let me trust Thee fully till Thy face I see,
Make me what I ought to be.

2 There is naught I need but Thou canst well supply,
All my heart’s deep hunger Thou canst satisfy.
Help me on Thyself more fully to rely,
Make me what I ought to be. [Refrain]

3 Then some day in glory grant I may behold
What to me were dearer than the streets of gold;
Fairer than the gates of pearl Thy face to see.
Make me what I ought to be. [Refrain]
