blest

’Tis the home of the soul,
Whose spir­its know their need;
’Tis the home of the soul,
Blest be this sta­ble mean, this lodg­ing low­ly.
Blest, blest for­ev­er,
Their emp­ti­ness and po­ver­ty;
Thus breathed by the East, on the hearts of the West;
For I look for­ward to that glo­ri­ous day,
All men shall call Him blest.
All I leave to fol­low Thee ev­er­more;
All I leave to fol­low Thee ev­er­more;
When wilt thou ev­er be mine?
Where Je­sus Christ is All in All;
Whose God is the Lord!
Whom He, the Lord of all,
To hold com­mun­ion with his God;
Nearing, near­ing, near­ing, near­ing,
Whose hearts and hopes are one,
Eternal King of kings,
Whose guilt is par­doned by his God;
