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
