LyicsMY SPIRIT long 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:
O let my wish be crowned,
And send it from above.
