more love to thee o christ

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!

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!

Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;

This still my prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ to Thee,
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!
