Thy home is with the humble, Lord

Verse 1
Thy home is with the humble, Lord! The simple are the best; Thy lodging is in child-like hearts; Thou makest there thy rest.
Verse 2
Dear Comforter! eternal Love! If thou wilt stay with me, Of lowly thoughts and simple ways I'll build a house for thee.
Verse 3
Who made this breathing heart of mine But thou, my heavenly Guest? Let no one have it, then, but thee, And let it be thy rest!
