IESVS RESTS IN the louers hart.

The Hymne.

Behold my hart doth Christ enclose,
While he doth sleep I doe repose:
As I in him, he rests in me.
If he awake, I needs must be
The cause, that made the noise within;
For nought disquiets him but sin.
But I with crosses, soon am vext.
With iniuries and cares perplext,
And I, who should my wil resigne,
Am soone disturb'd greiue, fret, repine:
Til IESVS doth his grace impart,
Who giues repose vnto my hart;
O happy hart, with such a guest,
Which here hath what he giues thee, rest.
