# In the Wilderness for God >"Him that dwelt in the bush" > Deuteronomy 33:16 **Verse 1** In the wilderness for God! Just a common bush aflame! Thus may I be, blessed Lord, For the glory of Thy Name. **Verse 2** Just a common bush to be, Something in which God can dwell, Something thru which God can speak, Something thru which God can tell, **Verse 3** All His yearning over men, All His purposes of love, Flaming with no light of earth, But with glory from above: **Verse 4** God Himself within the bush, Nothing seen but just the flame; Make me that, just that, O God, For the glory of Thy Name. ## Note This poem was originally published as a single stanza. --- Meter: 7.7.7.7.
