Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.
1 Corinthians 6:19
Words: Johann Scheffler, 1657. Translator unknown.
Music: Maria Jung und Zart Geistliche Kirchengesäng (Cologne, Germany: 1623), adapted (🔊 pdf nwc).
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.
