Sav¤iour, hear my heart¤felt prayer,
Hum¤bly I im¤plore:
In Thy lov¤ing, ten¤der care,
Let me love Thee more.
Source of life and love di¤vine,
Dwell with¤in this heart of mine;
I would love with love like Thine,
Love Thee more and more.

Chorus:
Love Thee more, more and more.
O en¤large this heart of mine–
I would love Thee more.

Sav¤iour, Thou didst leave Thy throne
In Thy love for me;
For my sins Thou didst a¤tone:
Now my soul is free.
All Thy soul’s deep ag¤o¤ny,
Thy great love on Cal¤va¤ry
Touch my heart ap¤peal¤ing¤ly–
I would love Thee more.

Thou hast loved me un¤to death;
All my powers and will,
Gifts Thou lend¤est with my breath,
Shall Thy praise ful¤fil.
All Thy sor¤row, grief and shame
For my por¤tion now I claim,
Hon¤oured thus to bear Thy name–
I would love Thee more.

Thou hast bought me with Thy blood:
Oh, how great the price–
Com¤pre¤hend it, no heart could–
Told in sac¤ri¤fice!
All my soul now sighs for Thee;
Thirst¤ing, long¤ing, I would be
Filled with love’s im¤men¤si¤ty,
Lov¤ing more and more.
