- | |
What happy secret fountain | B |
Fair shade or mountain | B |
Whose undiscovered virgin glory | C |
Boasts it this day though not in story | C |
Was then thy dwelling Did some cloud | D |
Fixed to a tent descend a shroud | D |
My distressed Lord Or did a star | E |
Beckoned by Thee though high and far | E |
In sparkling smiles haste gladly down | F |
To lodge light and increase her own | G |
My dear dear God I do not know | H |
What lodged Thee then nor where nor how | I |
But I am sure Thou dost now come | J |
Oft to a narrow homely room | K |
Where Thou too hast but the least part | L |
My God I mean my sinful heart | L |
