53. More Love to Thee

1 More love to Thee, O Christ,
More love to Thee,
Hear Thou the pray’r I make
On bended knee,
This is my earnest plea:

Refrain:
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love, O Christ, 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 pray’r shall be: [Refrain]

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: [Refrain]
