More Love to Thee

More love to thee; Hear thou the pray'r 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 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!
