Author: Gerhard Tersteegen Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.8.3.3.6.6 Appears in 71 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 6:19-21 Lyrics: 1 Gott ist gegenwärtig. Lasset uns anbeten und in Ehrfurcht vor ihn treten. Gott ist in der Mitte. Alles in uns schweige und sich innigst vor ihm beuge. Wer ihn kennt, wer ihn nennt, schlag die Augen nieder; kommt, ergebt euch wieder. 2 Gott ist gegenwärtig, dem die Cherubinen Tag und Nacht gebücket dienen. “Heilig, heilig, heilig!” singen ihm zur Ehre aller Engel hohe Chöre. Herr, vernimm unsre Stimm, da auch wir Geringen unsre Opfer bringen. 3 Herr, komm in mir wohnen; lass mein Herz auf Erden dir ein Heiligtum noch werden. Komm, du nahes Wesen; dich in mir verkläre, dass ich dich stets lieb und ehre. Wo ich geh, sitz und steh, lass mich dich erblicken und vor dir mich bücken. 1 God is here among us: come with adoration, fervent praise and expectation. God is here within us: known beyond believing, soul in silent awe receiving. God will name and will claim those beheld as lowly, making all things holy. 2 Come, abide within me; let my soul, like Mary, be thine earthly sanctuary. Come, indwelling Spirit, with transfigured splendor; love and honor will I render. Where I go here below, let me bow before thee, know thee, and adore thee. 3 Gladly we surrender earth’s deceitful treasures, pride of life, and sinful pleasures. God, we gladly offer thine to be forever, soul and life and each endeavor. Thou alone shalt be known Lord of all our being, life’s true way decreeing.
