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!
