Key of Eb · 72 BPM · 4/4 · Adoration,Confession · Philippians 1:9

Verse 1

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!

Verse 2

Once earthly joy I craved, Sought peace and rest; Now
thee alone I seek, Give what is best; This
all my pray'r shall be, More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee; More love to Thee.

Verse 3

Then shall my latest breath, Whisper Thy praise, This
be the parting cry My heart shall raise; This
still its pray'r shall be, More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee; More love to Thee.
