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 its prayer shall be;
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee,
More love to thee! Scripture: Philippians 1:9 Languages: English Tune Title: MORE LOVE TO THEE
More Love to Thee
