'The Divine Guest' (poem) written by John Byrom

My spirit longeth for thee

Within my troubled breast;

Although I be unworthy

Of so divine a Guest.


Of so divine a guest,

Unworthy though I be;

Yet has my heart no rest,

Unless it comes from thee.


Unless it comes from thee,

In vain I look around:

In all that I can see,

No rest is to be found.


No rest is to be found,

Nut in thy blessed love,

O, let my wish be crowned,

And send it from above.
