More love to Thee

More love to Thee, O Christ,
More love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make
On bended knee
Once earthly joy I craved,
Sought peace and rest
Now Thee alone I seek
Give what is best
This all my earnest plea
More love, O Christ, to Thee
More love to Thee
More love to Thee!
Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise
This all my prayer shall be
More love, O Christ, to Thee
More love to Thee
More love to Thee!
This still its prayer shall be
More love, O Christ, to Thee
More love to Thee
More love to Thee!
