More Love To Thee

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!
