Author: Flora McLean; W. G. C. Hymnal: The Crowning Day #14 (1894) First Line: Dear Lord, increase my faith, I pray Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord, increase my faith, I pray, While on this earth I roam; Banish my ev’ry doubt away, And guide me safely home. Guide me home, guide me home, Guide me safely home; Banish my ev’ry doubt away, And guide me safely home. 2 Give me the faith to trust Thy pow’r, E’en where I cannot see; The faith to yield this very hour, My life, my all, to Thee. All to Thee, all to Thee, Life and all the Thee; Help me to yield, this very hour, My life and all to Thee. 3 To yield the whole and not a part, Is my most earnest pray’r; Come, Thou, and cleanse my froward heart, And reign forever there. Cleanse my heart, cleanse my heart, Feign forever there; Come, Thou, and cleanse my froward heart, And reign forever there. 4 Should anything e’er seem to stand, Between Thy heart and mine, Spare not the chast’ning of Thy hand, Till I am wholly Thine. Wholly Thine, wholly Thine, Till I’m wholly Thine; Spare not the chast’ning of Thy hand, Till I am wholly Thine. 5 Then, when on earth my work is past, And I have reach’d the goal, Oh, bear me to my home at last, An humble, grateful soul. Bear me home, bear me home, To my heav’nly home; Oh bear me to my home at last, An humble, grateful soul. 6 A palm of victory I’ll bear, Of vict’ry over sin; And I shall tell the angels there, How Jesus took me in. Tell them there, tell them there, Jesus took me in; Oh, I shall tell the angels there, How Jesus took me in. Scripture: Mark 9:24 Tune Title: [Dear Lord, increase my faith, I pray]

W. G. Cooper

1861 - 1938 Person Name: W. G. C. Alterer of "My Heart's Prayer" in The Crowning Day Rv William Gustin Cooper USA 1861-1938. Born in Evansville, WI, he married Mabel Luella Cooper. He became a Baptist minister having pastorates in Hortonville Village, WI, 1897 – 1901, and later in Ira, VT, in 1922. He also conducted camp meetings. He wrote a number of hymn lyrics and a few tunes. He died in Canton, ME. Note: In a campmeeting service in 1889, when the service was over, a lyricist, Warren Cornell, sat writing a poem. As he left the site, he dropped the paper he was writing and didn't notice it. An hour or or so later, Rev. Cooper came in to tidy up the tent area for the next service, saw the paper, picked it up and read it, and was so inspired by the words, that he finished writing the text and went to the organ and composed the tune for the hymn, “Wonderful peace”.
