In the Heart of Jesus

Alice Pugh • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7

Verse 1

In the heart of Jesus there is love for you, Love most pure and tender, love most deep and true; Why should you be lonely, why for friendship sigh, When the heart of Jesus has a full supply?

Verse 2

In the mind of Jesus there is thought for you, Warm as summer sunshine, sweet as morning dew; Why should you be fearful, why take anxious thought, Since the mind of Jesus cares for those He bought?

Verse 3

In the field of Jesus there is work for you; Such as even angels might rejoice to do; Why stand idly sighing for some lifework grand, While the field of Jesus seeks your reaping hand?

Verse 4

In the home of Jesus there’s a place for you; Glorious, bright, and joyous, calm and peaceful too; Why then, like a wanderer, roam with weary pace, If the home of Jesus holds for you a place?
