English Lyrics
Verse 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!
Verse 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!
Verse 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!
Verse 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!
