My Dwelling

You came to my dwelling, Jesus Lord,

With the thorns upon Your Brow,

I bade You enter in my house,

And You healed me in that hour.

O Lord, come close, and do not fade,

Nor change, nor pass away-

I stay within Your blessed shade-

Remain with me today!

No less in trouble than in grace,

No less in sorrow than in peace,

May I behold Your shining Face,

And may I rest in Your embrace.

Oh, be the Joy which God has planned!

And be the Rock on which I stand!

May Jesus be my lasting peace

Till the road shall end and time shall cease!
