514. My Heaven in Thee

Father divine, this deadening power control,
Which to the senses binds the immortal soul;
O break this bondage, Lord! I would be free,
And in my soul would find my heaven, in Thee.

My heaven in Thee! O God, no other heaven
To the immortal soul can e’er be given;
O, let Thy kingdom now within me come,
And as above, so here, Thy will be done!

My heaven in Thee, O Father, let me find—
My heaven in Thee, within a heart resigned;
No more, of heaven and bliss, my soul, despair,
For where my God is found, my heaven is there.
