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!
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"
by Elizabeth Prentiss
What wonderful lyrics. I hope you have enjoyed this song as much as I enjoyed singing it this morning in church. Dad (our songleader) told us that Elizabeth Prentiss also wrote "Stepping Heavenward." I haven't read it, but maybe I should. Anyone else read it?
Blessings!
Beautiful words! No, I haven't read Stepping Heavenward. I'm sure it is good though. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely read Stepping Heavenward. It is one of my 'top books.' I have read and re-read parts of it. :) Hope you are doing well! I can't wait 'til I get my own computer back and can start doing regular blogposts again. Maybe then we can stay connected better. :)
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
I just recently got a copy of "Stepping Heavenward". I think I'll start reading it soon, since you mentioned it!
