In the Heart of Jesus

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?

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?

In the field of Je­sus

There is work for you;

Such as ev­en an­gels

Might re­joice to do;

Why stand id­ly sigh­ing

For some life-work grand

While the field of Je­sus

Seeks your reap­ing hand?

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?
