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.	Let sorrow do its work, 
	come 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!

4.	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!
