Text: | More love to thee, O Christ |
Author: | Elizabeth Prentiss, 1818 - 78 |
Tune: | MORE LOVE TO THEE |
Composer: | William Howard Doane, 1832 - 1915 |
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. A-men.
3 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper thy praise;
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;
This still its prayer shall be,
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee,
More love to thee.
Amen.
