852--Thy dwelling-place, O Lord, I love;

Thy dwelling-place, O Lord, I love;

852

	1.	Thy dwelling-place, O Lord, I love;
		It is Thy Church so blessed,
		It is Thy joy and heart's delight
		And where Thy heart finds rest.
	2.	For her, Thyself Thou gavest, Lord,
		That she be Thine, complete;
		For her, I too my body give,
		Thy heart's desire to meet.
	3.	For her, Thou hast become my life,
		That she my living be;
		For her, I would forsake myself,
		That she be filled with Thee.
	4.	The Church is Thy beloved Bride,
		Thou in Thy Body seen;
		She is my joy and heart's desire,
		The one on whom I lean.
	5.	In her, Thy full supply, O Lord,
		Thou dost to me impart;
		In her am I possessed by Thee
		To satisfy Thy heart.
	6.	Thy dwelling-place, O Lord, I love;
		It is Thy Church, Thy home;
		In it I would forever live
		And never longer roam.
