Religion
Psalm: My longing heart's desire
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
My longing heart's desire
Is to its Maker known;
Thou seest it now aspire,
Jesus, to Thee alone.
The one thing necessary,
For Thee alone I pine:
On earth I only tarry
To know that Thou art mine.
More than the consolation.
The Comforter I want;
O God of my salvation,
In me Thyself implant.
With infinite expansion.
My spirit pants for Thee,
And swells to be Thy mansion
Through all eternity.
