More Love To Thee

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 its prayer shall be
More love O Christ to Thee
More love to Thee more love to Thee
