Lyrics

Verse 1

More love to Thee, O Christ! More love to Thee; Hear Thou the prayer I make On bended knee. This is my earnest plea, More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee! More love to Thee!

Verse 2

Once earthly joy I craved, Sought peace and rest; Now Thee alone I seek, Give what is best. This all my prayer shall be, More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee! More love to Thee!

Verse 3

Let sorrow do its work, Send grief or pain; Sweet are Thy messengers, Sweet their refrain, When they can sing with me, More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee! More love to Thee!

Verse 4

Then shall my latest breath Whisper Thy praise; This be the parting cry My heart shall raise, This still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee! More love to Thee!
