Author: Mrs. E. P. Prentiss Hymnal: Laudes Domini #328 (1888) Scripture: 2 Peter 3:18 First Line: More love to thee, O Christ` Refrain First Line: More love, O Christ, to thee Lyrics: 1 More love to thee, O Christ,
More love to thee!
Hear thou the pray I make
On bended knee;
This is my earnest plea,--
More love, O Christ, 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!
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!
4 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper thy praise,
This be the parting cry
My heart shall praise;
This still its prayer shall be,--
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee! Topics: Afflictions; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Declenson spiritual Languages: English Tune Title: MORE LOVE
