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 !
3. Let sorrow do its work, Send grief and pain ; Sweet are Thy messengers, Sweet their refrain, When they can sing with me--- More love, O Christ, 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 !
