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 Then shall my every breath Sing out your praise; This be the only song My heart shall raise; This still my prayer shall be: [Refrain]
