Hymn 99 - More Love to Thee, O Christ

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!

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!

Let sorrows 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!

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!
