Verse 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!
Verse 2
Once earthly joy I craved,
Sought peace and rest;
Now thee alone I seek,
Give what is best;
This all my pray'r shall be,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee;
More love to Thee.
Verse 3
Then shall my latest breath,
Whisper Thy praise,
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;
This still its pray'r shall be,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee;
More love to Thee.
