Lord, Thou Hast Told Us
Lord! thou hast told us that there be
Two dwellings which belong to Thee;
And those two — that's the wonder —
Are far asunder.
The one the highest heaven is,
The mansions of eternal bliss;
The other's the contrite
And humble sprite.
Though heaven be high, the gate is low,
And he that comes in there must bow;
The lofty looks shall ne'er
Have entrance there.
O God! since Thou delight'st to rest
Within the humble, contrite breast,
First make me so to be;
Then dwell with me.
Two dwellings which belong to Thee;
And those two — that's the wonder —
Are far asunder.
The one the highest heaven is,
The mansions of eternal bliss;
The other's the contrite
And humble sprite.
Though heaven be high, the gate is low,
And he that comes in there must bow;
The lofty looks shall ne'er
Have entrance there.
O God! since Thou delight'st to rest
Within the humble, contrite breast,
First make me so to be;
Then dwell with me.
