Lord, Deeper Make Thy Home in Me

Lord

deeper make Thy home in me

’Til ev’ry room belong to Thee

That Thou might fully make me Thee

And so full rest Thou have in me.

So also deeper into Thee

I’d make my home

my rest in Thee;

A pillar in Thy temple be

And stay in Thee eternally.

Thy precious blood was shed that we

Could closer

closer

closest be;

In resurrection brought to Thee

That we might be as one as Thee.

My lovely Lord

my dear Bridegroom

In trust I open ev’ry room;

This mind

emotion

will be Thine;

When Thou hast rest

that rest is mine.

Oh mystery of mysteries—

Lord

Thou in me and I in Thee!

The church

Thy tabernacle

we;

Our temple

Thou eternally.

Lord

make Thy home more ev’ry day

’Til one with Thee in ev’ry way

’Til on me write Thy holy name

’Til on me write Thy city’s name.

Lord

Thou art me and I am Thee

As lovers coinhering

we;

Soon then shall come eternity

When God and man dwell mutually.
