Thy home is with the humble, Lord!The simple are the best;Thy lodging is in child-like hearts;Thou makest there thy rest.

Dear Comforter! eternal Love!If thou wilt stay with me,Of lowly thoughts and simple ways,My heart the home shall be.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «641» (large) with the reference line «179, 147,» in italics beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 179 or 147; only two numbers, the line ends with a comma-shaped mark); left column of p. 209, below hymn 640, stanzas 1–2, «Anon.» in italics at the end. The first word «THY» is set in capitals and small capitals. The print sets a thin space before «!» and «;» («Lord !», «best ;», «hearts ;», «Comforter !», «Love !»); it is closed up here. Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's. No meter is printed (the text is C. M., 8.6.8.6).
