Jesu, Jesu, miserere
Language: English
"Jesu, Jesu, miserere; "Hear my cry to Thee." Come, thou fainting one and weary, Come to Me. "Sin and shame my heart benumbing, "Shall I gain Thy feet?" Shrinking, trembling, hardly coming, Thee I meet. "Jesu, Jesu, miserere; "Save me or I die." Hearken in the darkness dreary, It is I. "Jesu, Jesu, miserere; "Hush my soul's unrest." Lay thee, travelworn and weary, On My breast. "Jesus, come, come quickly to me, "Only make me Thine." I am here; thy anguish drew Me, Thou art mine.
