EHS 026 More Love To Thee

(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 parting breath, Whisper Thy praise;
This be the joyful 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!
