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;

O let my wish be crown'd,

And send it from above!
