“More Love to Thee, O Christ”
 By Elizabeth P. Prentiss, 1856

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!

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!

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, more love to Thee!

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!
