385 ~ More Love to Thee
1
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! 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! 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! More love to thee!
