| 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 Let sorrow do its work,
come 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!
