Lo, God is here! let us adore

Author: John Wesley, 1703 - 91; Gerhard Tersteegen, 1697 - 1769 Appears in 292 hymnals Topics: The Church The House of God Lyrics: 1 Lo, God is here! let us adore, And own how dreadful is this place! Let all within us feel his power, And silent bow before his face; Who know his power, his grace who prove, Serve him with awe, with reverence love. A-men. 2 Lo, God is here! him day and night United choirs of angels sing; To him, enthroned above all height, The hosts of heaven their praises bring; Disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, Who praise thee with a faltering tongue. 3 Being of beings, may our praise Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill! Still may we stand before thy face, Still hear and do thy sovereign will; To thee may all our thoughts arise A true and ceaseless sacrifice. Amen. Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: House of God Lyrics: 1 The earth and the fullness with which it is stored, The world and its dwellers belong to the Lord; For He on the seas its foundations has laid, And firm on the waters its pillars has stayed, And firm on the waters its pillars has stayed. 2 What man shall the hill of Jehovah ascend, And who in the place of His presence attend? The man of pure heart and of hands without stain, Who swears not to falsehood nor loves what is vain, Who swears not to falsehood nor loves what is vain. 3 That man ever blest of Jehovah shall live, The God of salvation shall righteousness give; For this is the people, yea, this is the race, The Israel true that are seeking His face, The Israel true that are seeking His face.

A-men. 3 Bright with pearls her portals glitter, They are open evermore; And, by virtue of his merits, Thither faithful souls may soar Who for Christ's dear Name in this world Pain and tribulation bore. 4 Many a blow and biting sculpture Fashioned well those stones elect, In their places now compacted By the heavenly architect, Who therewith hath willed for ever That his palace should be decked. 5 Laud and honor to the Father; Laud and honor to the Son; Laud and honor to the Spirit; Ever Three and ever One: Consubstantial, co-eternal, While unending ages run.

Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry

Author: Dr. H. Bonar, 1808-1889 Appears in 134 hymnals Topics: House of God First Line: When the weary, seeking rest Lyrics: 1 When the weary, seeking rest, To Thy goodness flee; When the heavy-laden cast All their load on Thee; When the troubled, seeking peace, On Thy name shall call; When the sinner seeking life, At Thy feet shall fall. 2 When the worldling, sick at heart, Lifts his soul above; When the prodigal looks back To his Father's love; When the proud man from his pride Stoops to seek Thy face; When the burdened brings his guilt To Thy throne of grace. 3 When the stranger asks a home, All his toils to end; When the hungry craveth food, And the poor a friend; When the sailor on the wave Bows the fervent knee; When the soldier on the field Lifts his heart to Thee. 4 When the man of toil and care, In the city crowd; When the shepherd on the moor, Names the name of God; When the learned and the high, Tired of earthly fame, Upon higher joys intent, Name the blessed name. 5 When the child, with grave, fresh lip, Youth, or maiden fair; When the aged, weak and grey, Seek Thy face in prayer; When the widow weeps to Thee, Sad and lone and low; When the orphan brings to Thee All his orphan woe.
