G A7 D
More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee!
G C D G
Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee.
C G
This is my ear- nest plea:
D7 G
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
C G Am D G
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
G A7 D
Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest;
G C D G
Now Thee alone I seek, give what is best.
C G
This all my prayer shall be:
D7 G
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
C G Am D G
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
G A7 D
Let sorrow do its work, send grief and pain;
G C D G
Sweet are Thy messengers, sweet their re- frain,
C G
When they can sing with me:
D7 G
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
C G Am D G
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
G A7 D
Then shall my latest breath whisper Thy praise;
G C D G
This be the parting cry my heart shall raise;
C G
This still its prayer shall be:
D7 G
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
C G Am D G
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
