1More about Jesus I would know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

RefrainMore, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

2More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.

3More about Jesus; in His word,
Holding communion with my Lord,
Hearing His voice in every line,
Making each faithful saying mine.

4More about Jesus on His throne,
Riches in glory all His own;
More of His kingdom's sure increase;
More of His coming, Prince of Peace.
