486. More love to thee, O Christ
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:
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 Then shall my latest breath
whisper thy praise.
This be the parting cry
my heart shall raise;
this still my prayer shall be:
more love, O Christ, to thee;
more love to thee,
more love to thee!
