| Tune: | MORE LOVE TO THEE |
| Composer: | William H. Doane |
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 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!
