Author: John Byrom Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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!
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Christ Strength and Refuge; Hope; Humility; Inner Life, The; Life in Christ Hope and Aspiration Scripture: Psalm 63:1 Used With Tune: FINGAL
