1 When we follow earthly pleasures,
Seeking only selfish ease,
Blessed Lord, we hear Thee asking,
"Do ye love me more than these?"
Refrain:
"More than these?" dear Master, help us,
From our inmost hearts to say,
"Lord, Thou knowest that we love Thee,
We would serve Thee day by day."
2 When the crowns of human glory
We, in blindness, turn to seize,
We can catch Thy tender question,
"Do ye love me more than these?" [Refrain]
3 Leaving home, and friends, and country,
Over land and over seas,
We would follow when Thou callest,
"Do ye love me more than these?" [Refrain]
