Thy dwelling place
O Lord
I love;
It is Thy Church so blessed
It is Thy joy and heart’s delight
And where Thy heart finds rest.
For her
Thyself Thou gavest
Lord
That she be Thine
complete;
For her
I too my body give
Thy heart’s desire to meet.
For her
Thou hast become my life
That she my living be;
For her
I would forsake myself
That she be filled with Thee.
The Church is Thy beloved Bride
Thou in Thy Body seen;
She is my joy and heart’s desire
The one on whom I lean.
In her
Thy full supply
O Lord
Thou dost to me impart;
In her am I possessed by Thee
To satisfy Thy heart.
Thy dwelling place
O Lord
I love;
It is Thy Church
Thy home;
In it I would forever live
And never longer roam.
