CXXI. O Jesus, my rest

1 O Jesus, my rest,
How unspeakably blest
Is the sinner that comes to be hid in thy breast!

2 I come at thy call,
At thy feet do I fall,
And believe and confess thee my God and my All.

3 Thou art Mary's good part,
The thing needful thou art,
The desire of my eyes, and the joy of my heart.

4 My comfort and stay,
My life, and my way,
My crown of rejoicing in that happy day.

5 Health, pardon and peace
In thee I possess;
I can have nothing more, I will have nothing less.

6 I stand in thy might,
I walk in thy light,
And all heaven I claim in thy God-giving right.
