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 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 my prayer shall be: More love to Thee, more love to Thee.
