Thy home is with the humble, Lord

Frederick W. Faber (1849) • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 57:13

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!
