| Text: | My Heart, O Holy Spirit |
| Author: | H. A. Brorson |
| Tune: | [My heart, O Holy Spirit] |
1 My heart, O Holy Spirit,
That city longs to see,
That precious gem,
Jerusalem,
Where I shall soon inherit
A home prepared for me.
2 But, oh, the stormy waters,
How can I find the way,
'Midst hidden shoals,
Where darkness rolls,
To join thy sons and daughters,
Who dwell in thee for aye?
3 Lord, strengthen my conviction,
That soon I be with Thee.
Help me to brave
The treat'ning wave;
In ev'ry sore affliction
My Lord and Captain be.
