More love to Thee, O Lord,
|
|
| 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! |
