Bow ¤down Thine ¤ear to me:
No ¤place of ¤rest is nigh;
O ¤Lamb of ¤God, I ¤come to ¤Thee;
In ¤mer¤cy ¤hear my cry.

Bow ¤down Thine ¤ear to me:
My ¤heart is ¤sore op¤pressed;
I ¤come to ¤Thee in ¤all my ¤sin;
I ¤come and ¤long for rest.

Long ¤in the ¤des¤ert ways
My ¤feet have ¤loved to roam;
The ¤drear¤y ¤waste I ¤leave be¤¤hind
And ¤turn to ¤Thee and home.

Earth’s ¤pass¤ing ¤plea¤sures vain,
How ¤soon they ¤fade and die!
I ¤sought for ¤bread, but ¤found a ¤stone,
Which ¤could not ¤sat¤is¤fy.

The ¤dark¤ness ¤gath¤ers round:
For¤¤sake me ¤not, I pray;
A ¤hum¤ble, ¤con¤trite ¤heart I ¤bring;
O ¤turn me ¤not a¤way.
