87. More Love to Thee, O Christ

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;

Refrain:
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love 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: [Refrain]

3 Then shall my every breath
Sing out your praise;
This be the only song
My heart shall raise;
This still my prayer shall be: [Refrain]
