Jesus lad mit Hjerte faa

Representative Text

1 Min Jesus, lad mit Hjerte faa
En saadan Smag paa dig,
At Nat og Dag du vær maa

Saa sød og salig frem,
Thi du mig kysser med din Mund,
Og tager til dig hjem,
Og tager til dig hjem.

3 Mit Hjerte i den Grav, du laa
Knust af min Synde-Nød,
Lad, naar det kvelder, Hvile faa,

Og smile ad sin Død!

4 Før saa mig arme Synder hjem
Med din Vetfærdighed
Til dit det ny Jerusalem,
Til al din Herlighed!
Til al din Herlighed!
