More Love to Thee
1 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! 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 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! (optional) I love You, my Jesus, I love You, my Lord.
