Come Into My Heart, Blessed Jesus - Hymn with Lyrics

1. Come into my heart, blessed Jesus,
Come into my heart, I pray;
My soul is so troubled and weary,
Come into my heart today.

Refrain:
Into my heart, into my heart,
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus;
Come in today,
Come in to stay,
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus.

2. Come into my heart, blessed Jesus,
I need Thee thro’ life’s dreary way;
The burden of sin is so heavy,
Come into my heart to stay. [Refrain]

3. Come into my heart, blessed Jesus,
O cleanse and illumine my soul;
Fill me with Thy wonderful Spirit,
Come in and take full control. [Refrain]

“Come Into My Heart, Blessed Jesus” is a heartfelt gospel hymn written by Harry D. Clarke, an American songwriter known for his contributions to early 20th-century revival music. This hymn reflects the deeply personal and emotional style of the revivalist movement, which emphasized individual conversion and a close relationship with Jesus Christ. Written as a simple prayer, the song expresses a soul’s yearning for peace, comfort, and the indwelling presence of Christ. With lines like “My soul is so troubled and weary, come into my heart today,” it captures the spiritual longing that was central to many evangelical gatherings of the time, including tent revivals and altar calls. Though Clarke did not gain widespread fame, this hymn became his most well-known piece and continues to be sung in traditional churches and personal devotions. Its message of inviting Jesus into one’s heart resonates deeply with believers seeking solace and spiritual renewal.
