| Text: | My spirit longs for thee |
| Author: | John Byrom, 1692-1763 |
| Tune: | MARIA JUNG UND ZART |
1 My spirit longs for thee
Within my troubled breast,
Though I unworthy be
Of so divine a guest.
2 Of so divine a guest
Unworthy though I be,
Yet has my heart no rest
Unless it come from thee.
3 Unless it come from thee,
In vain I look around;
In all that I can see
No rest is to be found.
4 No rest is to be found
But in thy blessèd love:
O, let my wish be crowned,
And send it from above!
