262. More Love to Thee, O Christ

1 More love to Thee, O Christ!
More love to Thee;
Hear Thou the pray'r I make
On bended knee;
This is my earnest plea.
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 pray'r shall be,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee!
More love to Thee!

3 Let sorrow do its work,
Come grief or pain;
Sweet are Thy messengers,
Sweet their refrain.
When they can sing to me,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee!
More love to Thee!

4 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise,
This be the parting 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!
