LyicsMORE 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!
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!
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!
