I dwell with him that is of a humble spirit. Isa. 57. 15

1 Jesus, where’er thy people meet,
  There they behold thy mercy-seat;
  Where’er they seek thee thou art found,
  And every place is hallowed ground.

2 For thou, within no walls confined,
  Inhabitest the humble mind;
  Such ever bring thee where they come,
  And going, take thee to their home.

3 Dear Shepherd of thy chosen few,
  Thy former mercies here renew;
  Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
  The sweetness of thy saving name.

4 Here may we prove the power of prayer
  To strengthen faith, and sweeten care;
  To teach our faint desires to rise,
  And bring all heaven before our eyes.
