“Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” | John 21:17    

Lyrics by Elizabeth Prentiss
Tune by William H. Doane, arr. Jody Killingsworth 

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!
 
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!
 
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 Christ, to Thee; 
More love to Thee, more love to Thee! 
 
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!
