Lo! God is Here; Let Us Adore

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo, God is here; let us adore, and own how dreadful is this place; let all within us feel His pow'r, and humbly bow before His face. Who knows His pow'r, His grace who proves, serve Him with awe, with rev'rence love. 2 Lo, God is here, whom day and night united choirs of angels praise; to Him, enthroned above all height, the host of heav'n their anthems raise. Disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, who praise Thee with a stamm'ring tongue. 3 Almighty Father, may our praise Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill; still may we stand before Thy face, still hear and do Thy sov'reign will. To God whom earth and heav'n adore, be praise and glory evermore. Topics: Revelation and Adoration Used With Tune: VATER UNSER

I Hear the Words of Love

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I hear the words of love, I gaze upon the blood, I see the mighty sacrifice, and I have peace with God. 2 ’Tis everlasting peace, sure as Jehovah’s name; ’tis stable as His steadfast throne, for evermore the same. 3 The clouds may go and come, and storms may sweep my sky; this blood-sealed friendship changes not, the cross is ever nigh. 4. I change--He changes not; the Christ can never die; His love, not mine, the resting-place; His truth, not mine, the tie. 5 My love is oftimes low, my joy still ebbs and flows, but peace with Him remains the same; no change Jehovah knows.
