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, 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! 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! Elizabeth Prentiss

Oh, I love this prayer hymn.
Have you read Sharon James book called More Love to Thee?
Excellent!
Such a beautiful hymn! I love it!
I’ve read Sharon James’ book, it’s excellent, she’s a very good ladies’ conference speaker too. I’d not heard this hymn until I’d read the book.Verse three is especially applicable to Elizabeth’s trials I think.
