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.Then shall my latest breath,
Whisper Thy praise,
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;
This still its pray'r shall be,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee;
More love to Thee.
