293. Jesus, Thou my Heart's Desire

1 Jesus, Thou my heart's Desire,
Blesséd Lord and only Saviour,
Let my soul find rest in Thee,
Let my soul find rest in Thee.
Let Thy weary dove retire
To Thy bosom safe forever.
Flying o'er this restless sea
Home to rest in peace with Thee.

2 Thou alone canst satisfy me,
And assuage my thirst so burning
With the water from life's well,
With the water from life's well.
Saviour, Thou canst sanctify me;
For Thy grace my heart is yearning;
With Thy fulness in me dwell,
Blesséd Lord, and all is well.

Amen.
