But blind and wayward I could not see Thou wert coming to dwell with me, e'en me; And my heart o'erburdened with care and sin, Had no fair chambers to take Thee in : Hot one clean spot for Thy foot to tread, Not one pure pillow to rest Thy head ; There was nothing to offer, no bread, no wine. No oil of joy in this heart of mine ; And yet the light of Thy kingly face Illumed for Thyself, a small, dark place, And I crept to the spot by Thy smile made sweet, And tears came ready to wash Thy feet. ...Now let me come nearer, O Lord Divine, Make in my soul for Thyself a shrine ; Cleanse, till the desolate place shall be Fit for a dwelling, dear Lord, for Thee* Rear, if Thou wilt, a throne in my breast, Reign, I will worship and serve my guest. While Thou art in me— and in Thee 1 abide — No end can come to the Easter tide. tCbe Jgaster (BncBt ^KNEW Thou wert coming, O Lord Divine, I felt in the sunlight a softened shine, And a murmur of welcome I thought I heard, In the ripple of brooks and the chirp of bird; And the bursting buds and the springing grass Seemed to be waiting to see Thee pass ; And the sky, and the sea, and the throb- bing sod Pulsed and thrilled to the touch of God.
