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.
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.
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. Topics: The Church and the Kingdom Evangelism; Fire Celestial; Longing For Christ; Love To Christ Used With Tune: LOVE
