Author: F. W. Foster; Gerhard Tersteegen; J. Miller Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #424 (1917) Lyrics: 1 God Himself is present:
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.
2 God Himself is present:
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.
3 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.
Let Thy will
Ever still
Rule Thy Church terrestrial,
As the hosts celestial.
Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons At the Opening of Service Languages: English Tune Title: ARNSBERG
