Down in the human heart there’s a craving, An aching void that longs to be filled: Pleasures of earth, nor riches can fill it— This deep desire our Maker has willed.
Refrain: Tell the love of Jesus everywhere you go; Sing the love of Jesus, let the tidings roll; Swell the heav’nly chorus, let the people know That His great salvation satisfies the soul.
Jesus within will fill every longing: He, the utmost thy heart can aspire; He is a friend ’mid sunshine and shadow; Yes, He is all our hearts can desire.
Could there be here a soul that’s in trouble, Longing from sin and guilt a release? Our God has said that they shall have double, Fullness of joy and rivers of peace.
Come, craving soul, come now to the Savior, He longs to save and bless you today; You may obtain His mercy and favor, If you will bow before Him and pray.
