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; 
Still all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee; 

More love to Thee, more love to Thee! 
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
