233 | Joy to the World#234 |
Text: | 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.
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, etc.
3 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper thy praise,
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise,
This still its prayer shall
More love, etc.
