[If now Thou dwellest in my heart]

The Lord do so to me, and more also, &c. —i. 17.

If now Thou dwellest in my heart,
And I in Thee abide,
Nor life, nor death itself shall part
Or tear me from Thy side:
What sets me from my prison free
In closer bonds shall join
This disembodied soul to Thee,
Through endless ages mine.
