First Line: No cherub's heart or hand for us might ache
Last Line: More and yet more.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina

NO Cherub's heart or hand for us might ache,
No Seraph's heart of fire had half sufficed:
Thine own were pierced and broken for our sake,
O Jesus Christ.

Therefore we love Thee with our faint good-will,
We crave to love Thee not as heretofore,
To love Thee much, to love Thee more, and still
More and yet more.
