This is based on a traditional English melody; the lyrics come from an 18th century Latin text. I love the flow of the bass line!

All ye who seek a comfort sure
In trouble and distress,
Whatever sorrow vex the mind,
Or guilt the soul oppress.
Jesus who gave Himself for you Upon the Cross to die;
Opens to you His sacred Heart; O to that Heart draw nigh!
Ye hear how kindly He invites;
Ye hear His words so blest
"All ye that labour come to Me,
And I will give you rest."
O Jesus joy of Saints on high, Thou hope of sinners here,
Attracted by those loving words To Thee I lift my prayer.
Jesus who gave Himself for you Upon the Cross to die;
Opens to you His sacred Heart; O to that Heart draw nigh!
In trouble and distress,
Whatever sorrow vex the mind,
Or guilt the soul oppress.
Jesus who gave Himself for you Upon the Cross to die;
Opens to you His sacred Heart; O to that Heart draw nigh!
Ye hear how kindly He invites;
Ye hear His words so blest
"All ye that labour come to Me,
And I will give you rest."
O Jesus joy of Saints on high, Thou hope of sinners here,
Attracted by those loving words To Thee I lift my prayer.
Jesus who gave Himself for you Upon the Cross to die;
Opens to you His sacred Heart; O to that Heart draw nigh!
