1. More love to Thee, O Lord,
  More love to Thee!
  Hear Thou the prayer I make
  On bended knee;
  This is my earnest plea:
  More love, O Lord, 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 Lord, to Thee,
  More love to Thee,
  More love to Thee!
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 Lord, 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 Lord, to Thee,
  More love to Thee,
  More love to Thee!
