328. "More love"

1 More love to thee, O Christ,
More love to thee!
Hear thou the pray 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, O Christ, 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!

4 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper thy praise,
This be the parting cry
My heart shall praise;
This still its prayer shall be,--
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee!
