Author: Elizabeth Prentiss, 1818-1878 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #496 (2018) Scripture: Matthew 22:37 First Line: More love to Thee, O Christ Lyrics: 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! Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Faith, Trust, Love; Love for Jesus Christ Languages: English Tune Title: MORE LOVE TO THEE
