MORE LOVE TO THEE
1. More love to
Thee, O Christ,
Move 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!
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!
