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!
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!
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!
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!
MORE LOVE TO THEE, O CHRIST

Includes Wide Format PowerPoint file!
Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
