458   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]
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!

[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!
