More Love To Thee, O Christ Lyrics & Chords

By Elizabeth P. Prentiss, & W. Howard Doane

Verse 1

(G)More love to Thee, O (Em)Christ, (C)more love to (G)Thee! 

Hear thou the (Em)prayer I make (C)on (D)bended (G)knee. 

(C)This is my earnest (G)plea: (D)More love, O Christ, to (Em)Thee; 

(C)more love to (G)Thee, (D)more love to (G)Thee! 



Verse 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! 



Verse 3

Let sorrow do its work, come grief and 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! 



Verse 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 Christ, to Thee; 

more love to Thee, more love to Thee!
