198. 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,

Refrain:
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, [Refrain]

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, [Refrain]

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, [Refrain]

Amen.
