Author: Elizabeth Prentiss Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #198 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes First Line: More love to Thee, O Christ! Lyrics: 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,
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:
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love 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!
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!
