Jesu, Thou seest my troubled heart

Verse 1
Jesu, thou seest my troubled breast;
Weary and faint, for lasting rest,
For thee alone I pray:
O might I with my Lord receive
Peace which the world can never give,
Can never take away!

Verse 2
While banish’d from thy blissful sight,
No glimpse of comfort or delight,
No ray of hope I see;
But cause on me thy face to shine,
And glorious joy, and life divine,
And heaven returns with thee.
