Thy Mansion Is the Christian’s Heart (EN 3485)

EN 3485 Thy Mansion Is the Christian’s Heart

Mark.11.17

Versi Version 1

1

Thy mansion is the Christian’s heart,

O Lord, Thy dwelling-place secure!

Bid the unruly throng depart,

And leave the consecrated door.

2

Devoted as it is to Thee,

A thievish swarm frequents the place;

They steal away my joys from me,

And rob my Savior of His praise.

3

There too a sharp designing trade

Sin, Satan, and the world, maintain;

Nor cease to press me, and persuade,

To part with ease and purchase pain.

4

I know them, and I hate their din,

Am weary of the bustling crowd;

But while their voice is heard within,

I cannot serve Thee as I would.

5

O! for the joy Thy presence gives,

What peace shall reign when Thou art here!

Thy presence makes this den of thieves,

A calm delightful house of prayer.

6

And if Thou make Thy temple thine,

Yet, self-abased, will I adore;

The gold and silver are not mine,

I give Thee what was Thine before.
