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 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, 
More love to Thee! 
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,
More love to Thee, 
More love to Thee!
