Text:And does thy heart for Jesus pine
Author:Berridge

765. And does thy heart for Jesus pine

1 And does thy heart for Jesus pine,
And make its secret moan?
He understands a sigh divine,
And marks a secret groan.

2 These pinings prove that Christ is near,
To testify his grace;
Call on him with unceasing prayer
For he will show his face.

3 Though much dismayed, take courage still,
And knock at mercy’s door;
A loving Saviour surely will
Relieve his praying poor.

4 He knows how weak and faint thou art,
And must appear at length;
A look from him will cheer thy heart,
And bring renewèd strength.
