Author: Elizabeth P. Prentiss (1818-1878) Hymnal: Lift Every Voice and Sing II #87 (1993) Refrain First Line: More love, O Christ, to Thee Lyrics: 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 I craved,
Sought peace and rest;
Now thee alone I seek,
Give what is best;
This all my prayer shall be: [Refrain]
3 Then shall my every breath
Sing out your praise;
This be the only song
My heart shall raise;
This still my prayer shall be: [Refrain] Topics: Hymns and Songs Jesus Christ our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: [More love to thee, O Christ]
