The Celebration Hymnal

More Love to Thee

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.
