61. More Love to Thee

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 Icraved,
Sought peace and rest.
Now Thee alone I seek;
Give what is best.
This all my prayer shall be: Refrain

3 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise.
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;
This still its prayer shall be: Refrain
