The soul wherein God dwells—
What church could holier be?—
Becomes a walking tent
Of heavenly majesty.
Though Christ a thousand times
In Bethlehem be born,
If He’s not born in thee,
Thy soul is still forlorn.
O would thy heart but be
A manger for His birth,
God would once more become
A Child upon this earth.
