"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.
