More Love to Thee

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 to Thee, More love to Thee!

 

Once earthly joy I craved,

Sought peace and rest;

Now Thee alone I seek,

Give what is best;

This is all my prayer shall be:

More love, O Christ to Thee,

More to Thee, More love to Thee!

 

Then shall my latest breath

Whisper Thy praise;

This be the parting cry

My heart shall raise;

This still my prayer shall be:

More love, O Christ to Thee,

More to Thee, More love to Thee!
