Lyics

My spirit longs for thee

Within my troubled breast,

Though I unworthy be

Of so divine a Guest.



Of so divine a Guest

Unworthy though I be,

Yet has my heart no rest

Unless it come from thee.



Unless it come from thee,

In vain I look around;

In all that I can see,

No rest is to be found.



No rest is to be found

But in thy blessed love:

Oh let my wish be crowned,

And send it from above!
