Author: Elizabeth P. Prentiss Hymnal: The Celebration Hymnal #634 (1997) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Topics: Walking with God Prayer and Devotion First Line: More love to Thee, O Christ 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!
(optional)
I love You, my Jesus,
I love You, my Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: MORE LOVE TO THEE
