323 – 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!

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.

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!

4.

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!
