1.More love to thee, O Christ!More love to thee;Hear thou the pray'r I makeOn 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 pray'r shall be,More love, O Christ, to thee,More love to thee!More love to thee!3.Let sorrow do its work,Send grief or 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!3.Then shall my latest breath,Whisper thy praise;This be the parting cryMy heart shall raise,This still its pray'r shall be:More love, O Christ, to thee,More love to thee!More love to thee!
