[If but one Christian soul appear]

The Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household. —vi. 11.

If but one Christian soul appear
Beneath my roof, the Ark is here:
Jesus, the real Ark Thou art,
Set up in every faithful heart!
And where Thy Godhead doth reside,
Mercy and grace are multiplied,
Fulness of gospel-blessings flow,
And make a little heaven below.
