536. A Little Sanctuary

1 “A little Sanctuary” art Thou to me!
O Jesus, best belov’d! I live with Thee;
My heart has found its everlasting home,
Its sure abiding place where’er I roam.

2 “A little Sanctuary” art Thou to me!
My heart is still’d beneath love’s canopy;
The “Holiest of All” is open’d wide,
And I may enter and be satisfied.

3 “A little Sanctuary” art Thou to me!
No fabled shrine, but deep reality!
Thou saidst it should be so when at Thy call
I rose and follow’d gladly, leaving all.

4 “A little Sanctuary” art Thou to me!
All joyfully I pitch my tent with Thee;
Or ready still to journey at Thy word—
“In Thee” I “live and move,” most blessèd Lord.

5 “A little Sanctuary” art Thou to me!
I always am “ at home” on land or sea;
Alone, yet never lonely now, I prove
The “Hundredfold,” Lord Jesus, in Thy love.
