More Love to Thee

More love to Thee, O Christ; More love to Thee;
Hear Thou the pray'r I make On bended knee;
This is my earnest plea, More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love 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 all my pray'r shall be, More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love 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 its pray'r shall be, More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee; More love to Thee.
