\nMore love to thee, O Christ, more love to thee!
\nHear thou the prayer I make on bended knee.
\nThis is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to thee;
\nmore love to thee, more love to thee!<\/p>\n
2
\nOnce earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest;
\nnow thee alone I seek, give what is best.
\nThis all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to thee;
\nmore love to thee, more love to thee!<\/p>\n
3
\nLet sorrow do its work, come grief and pain;
\nsweet are thy messengers, sweet their refrain,
\nwhen they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to thee;
\nmore love to thee, more love to thee!<\/p>\n
4
\nThen shall my latest breath whisper thy praise;
\nthis be the parting cry my heart shall raise;
\nthis still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to thee;
\nmore love to thee, more love to thee!<\/p>\n
