MORE LOVE TO THEE

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!

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!

3.    Then shall my latest breath
    Whisper Thy praise;
    This is 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!
