  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!

  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!

  3.  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!
