Verse 1 ~
God Himself is with us;
Let us all adore Him,
And with awe appear before Him.
God is here within us;
Soul, in silence fear Him,
Humbly, fervently draw near Him.
Now His own who have known
God, in worship lowly
Yield their spirits wholly.
Verse 2 ~
God Himself is with us:
Let us now adore Him,
And with awe appear before Him.
God is in His temple,
All within keep silence,
Prostrate lie with deepest reverence.
Him alone God we own,
Him our God and Saviour;
Praise His Name forever.
Verse 3 ~
Come, abide within me;
Let my soul, like Mary,
Be Thine earthly sanctuary.
Come, in-dwelling Spirit,
With transfigured splendour;
Love and honour will we render.
Where I go here below,
Let me bow before Thee,
Know Thee and adore Thee.
Verse 4 ~
God Himself is with us:
Hear the harps resounding!
See the crowds the throne surrounding!
“Holy, holy, holy,”
Hear the hymn ascending,
Angels, saints, their voices blending!
Bow Thine ear to us here:
Hear, O Christ, the praises
That Thy church now raises.
Verse 5 ~
Gladly we surrender
Earth’s deceitful treasures,
Pride of life, and sinful pleasure:
Gladly, Lord, we offer
Thine to be forever,
Soul and life and each endeavour.
Thou alone shalt be known
Lord of all our being,
Life’s true way of decreeing.
Verse 6 ~
O Thou fount of blessing,
Purify my spirit;
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Like the holy angels
Who behold Thy glory,
May I ceaselessly adore Thee,
And in all, great and small,
Seek to do most nearly
What Thou lovest dearly.
