Author: Elizabeth P. Prentiss, 1818-1878 Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #176 (1977) 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 prayer I make
On bended knee;
This is my earnest plea:
Refrain:
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: [Refrain]
3 Let sorrow do its work,
Send grief and pain;
Sweet are Thy messengers,
Sweet their refrain,
When they can sing with me: [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: [Refrain]
