Jesus may "inhabitest the humble mind"
Metaphor in Context
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.
For thou, within no walls confined,
Inhabitest the humble mind;
Such ever bring Thee where they come,
And going, take Thee to their home.
(ll. 1-8, p. 167)

Inhabitest the humble mind;
