Chalice Hymnal ‎#348

348. More About Jesus Would I Know

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

Refrain:
More, more about Jesus,
more, more about Jesus;
more of his saving fullness see,
more of his love who died for me.

2 More about Jesus, let me learn,
more of his holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
showing the things of Christ to me. [Refrain]

3 More about Jesus; in his word,
holding communion with my Lord;
hearing his voice in every line,
making each faithful saying mine. [Refrain]

4 More 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. [Refrain]
