More love to Thee, O Lord,

Elizabeth Prentiss

4 Verses Desire For God

Verse 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!

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 Lord, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee!

Verse 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!

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 Lord, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
