More Love To Thee O Christ

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 crave,
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!

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!
More love to Thee.

Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise;
This be my 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!

Amen
