458 - More Love to Thee

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
Let sorrow do its work;
Send grief and pain;
Sweet are Thy messengers,
Sweet their refrain,
When they can sing with me,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee!
More love to Thee!
