Laudes Domini ‎#156

156. Divine Presence

1 God reveals his presence;
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 for ever.

2 God reveals his presence;
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;
Hearken, O Lord Jesus,
To our meaner praises.

3 O thou Fount of blessing,
Purify our spirit,
Trusting only in thy merit:
Like the holy angels
Who behold thy glory,
May we ceaselessly adore thee:
Let thy will Ever still,
Rule thy church terrestrial,
As the hosts celestial.

4 Jesus, condescending
To the meek and lowly
From thy heaven high and holy,
Make us now thy temple;
Waft us then to regions
Filled with bright seraphic legions;
May this hope Bear us up,
Till these eyes for ever
Gaze on thee, our Saviour.
