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.
It is Thy Church so blessed,
It is Thy joy and heart’s delight
And where Thy heart finds rest.

For her, Thyself Thou gavest, Lord,
That she be Thine, complete;
For her, I too my body give,
Thy heart’s desire to meet.
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.
That she my living be;
For her, I would forsake myself,
That she be filled with Thee.

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.
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.
Thou dost to me impart;
In her am I possessed by Thee
To satisfy Thy heart.

Thy dwelling place, O Lord, I love;
It is Thy Church, Thy home;
In it I would forever live
And never longer roam.
It is Thy Church, Thy home;
In it I would forever live
And never longer roam.

It is an amazing fact that God which is in Christ, has made me His dwelling place and now He makes Himself a home to me. This is to prove that He is in me and I in Him. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!!

This morning, I read and enjoy--The Four Crucial Elements of the Bible-Christ, the Spirit, Life and the Church, chapter 9. I am greatly impressed with what Bro. Lee shared regarding this hymn:
In the table of contents of our hymnal there is a category called “The Church.” It covers the church as the mystery of Christ, the increase of Christ, the fullness of Christ, the vessel of Christ, and the lampstand of Christ. It also covers the church’s general definition, course, faith, unity, foundation, building, attraction, coordination, and fellowship. Hymns, #824 is on the general definition of the church, whereas #852 is on the attraction of the church. Perhaps many of us have been in the church life for a number of years, yet we are still not clear about the definition of the church, nor do we know what kind of price we need to pay when we are attracted by the church. These two hymns reveal to us these two aspects of the truth. I hope that we all can earnestly study the truths contained in our hymns.
