African American Heritage Hymnal ‎#565

565. More About Jesus

1 More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show,
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

Refrain:
More, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

2 More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my Teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me. [Refrain]

3 More about Jesus - in His Word,
Holding communion with my Lord,
Hearing His voice in ev'ry line,
Making each faithful saying mine. [Refrain]

4 More about Jesus on His throne,
Riches in glory all His own,
More of His kingdom's sure increase;
More of His coming - Prince of peace. [Refrain]
