1. More love to thee,
   O Christ, More love to thee;
   Hear thou the prayer I make On bend - ed knee,
   This is my ear - nest plea,
   More love, O Christ, to thee,
   More love to thee, More love to thee
   
2. Once earth - ly joy I craved,
   Sought peace and rest;
   Now thee a - lone I seek; Give what is best;
   This all my prayer shall be,
   More love, O Christ, to thee,
   More love to thee, More love to thee
   
3. Let sor - row do its work,
   Send grief and pain;
   Sweet are thy mes - sen - gers, Sweet their re - frain,
   When they can sing with me,
   More love, O Christ, to thee,
   More love to thee, More love to thee
   
4. Then shall my lat - est breath
   Whis - per thy praise;
   This be the part ing cry, My heart shall raise,
   This still its prayer shall be, More
   love, O Christ, to thee,
   More love to thee, More love to thee. A -men.
