Wartburg Hymnal ‎#73

73. God Himself is present

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 rev'rence.
Him alone
God we own,
Him, our God and Savior;
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.
