Author: Elizabeth P. Prentiss Hymnal: The Hymnbook #397 (1955) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4.4 Scripture: Psalm 116:1 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,
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!
Amen. Topics: Prayer; Prayer; Life in Christ Prayer and Intercession Tune Title: MORE LOVE TO THEE
