Author: John Byrom (1691-1763) Hymnal: The Hymnal #508 (1950) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D 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: Orisons; Aspiration; Inner Life, The; Love and Communion; Peace, Spiritual Tune Title: FINGAL
