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 (2 times)
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 (2 times)
Let sorrow do its work, come grief or pain; Sweet are Thy messengers, sweet their refrain, When they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to Thee! More love to Thee (2 times)
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 (2 times) Amen.
