The Cyber Hymnal ‎#6667

6667. Thy Home Is with the Humble, Lord

1. Thy home is with the humble, Lord;
The simplest are the best;
Thy lodging is in childlike hearts;
Thou makest there Thy rest.

2. Dear Comforter, eternal love,
If Thou wilt stay with me,
Of lowly thoughts and simple ways
I’ll build a house for Thee.

3. Who made this beating heart of mine
But Thou, my heavenly guest?
Let no one have it, then, but Thee,
And let it be Thy rest.
