Thy dwelling place, O Lord, I love

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.
