Jesu

by George Herbert

Jesus on Watch

Jesu is in my heart, his sacred name
Is deeply carved there: but th' other week
A great affliction broke the little frame,
Ev'n all to pieces: which I went to seek;

And first I found the corner, where was J,
After, where E S, and next where U was graved.
When I had got these parcels, instantly
That to my broken heart was I EASE YOU,
And to my whole is JESU.
