117. Jesu, kom dog selv til mig

1 Jesu, kom dog selv til mig,
Og forbliv uryggelig!
Kom min Sjæleven saa kjær,
Jeg alene dig begjær.

2 Verdens Lyst og Liflighed
Giver Sjælen ingen Fred,
Vil kun Jesus hos mig bo,
Fattes mig ei Trøst og Ro.

3 Verdens Rigdom, Magt og Pragt
Holder jeg kun i Foragt,
Jesu, din Fornedring er
Al den Ære jeg begjær!

4 Tages al Ting fra mig bort,
Jeg dit ikke skjøtter stort,
Du, o Jesu, er den Deel,
Jeg udvælger for min Sjæl.

5 Ingen anden lukkes ind
I mit Hjerte, Hu og Sind.
Ak, saa kom da, Sjæleven,
Driv al Sorgen fra mig hen!

6 Tusind Gange ønskes du,
Som er ene i min Hu
Tusind Gang' jeg beder dig,
Jesu, kom, og bliv hos mig!

7 Nu jeg taalig vente vil,
Lægger dette Suk hertil
Herre Jesu, trøst mig, naar
Jeg af denne Verden gaar!
