1 There is within this heart of mine
A little church, with sacred shrine,
And stained forever with the blood
Of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
A little church, with sacred shrine,
And stained forever with the blood
Of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
2 Here dwelleth God, the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
He is my soul's beloved Guest,
And grants my heart true peace and rest.
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
He is my soul's beloved Guest,
And grants my heart true peace and rest.
3 This little church looks poor and odd;
But being the abode of God
It has a glorious, peerless grace:
It is God's royal dwelling-place.
But being the abode of God
It has a glorious, peerless grace:
It is God's royal dwelling-place.
