Yet, though despised and gory, I claim you as my own. 2 My Lord, what you did suffer was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but yours the deadly pain. So here I kneel, my Savior, for I deserve your place; look on me with your favor and save me by your grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank you, dearest Friend, for this, your dying sorrow, your mercy without end? Lord, make me yours forever, a loyal servant true, and let me never, never outlive my love for you. Scripture: Isaiah 53:3-6 Used With Tune: HERZLICH TUT MICH VERLANGEN Text Sources: Latin, medieval

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-75 Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name. 2 Low at his feet lay your burden of carefulness, high on his heart he will bear it for you, comfort your sorrows, and answer your prayerfulness, guiding your steps in the way best for you. 3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness of the poor wealth you would reckon to own: truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness, these are the offerings to bring to his throne. 4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, he will accept for the name that is dear, mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, trust for our trembling and hope for our fear. 5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness, bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
