Author: Gerhard Tersteegen Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.8.3.3.6.6 Appears in 72 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:9-11 Lyrics: 1 Gott ist gegenwärtig.
Lasset uns anbeten
und in Ehrfurcht vor ihn treten.
Gott ist in der Mitte.
Alles in uns schweige
und sich innigst vor ihm beuge.
Wer ihn kennt,
wer ihn nennt,
schlag die Augen nieder;
kommt, ergebt euch wieder.
2 Gott ist gegenwärtig,
dem die Cherubinen
Tag und Nacht gebücket dienen.
“Heilig, heilig, heilig!”
singen ihm zur Ehre
aller Engel hohe Chöre.
Herr, vernimm
unsre Stimm,
da auch wir Geringen
unsre Opfer bringen.
3 Herr, komm in mir wohnen;
lass mein Herz auf Erden
dir ein Heiligtum noch werden.
Komm, du nahes Wesen;
dich in mir verkläre,
dass ich dich stets lieb und ehre.
Wo ich geh, sitz und steh,
lass mich dich erblicken
und vor dir mich bücken.
1 God is here among us:
come with adoration,
fervent praise and expectation.
God is here within us:
known beyond believing,
soul in silent awe receiving.
God will name
and will claim
those beheld as lowly,
making all things holy.
2 Come, abide within me;
let my soul, like Mary,
be thine earthly sanctuary.
Come, indwelling Spirit,
with transfigured splendor;
love and honor will I render.
Where I go
here below,
let me bow before thee,
know thee, and adore thee.
3 Gladly we surrender
earth’s deceitful treasures,
pride of life, and sinful pleasures.
God, we gladly offer
thine to be forever,
soul and life and each endeavor.
Thou alone
shalt be known
Lord of all our being,
life’s true way decreeing. Topics: Adoration; Discipleship; Holy Spirit; Mary, Mother of Jesus Used With Tune: WUNDERBARER KÖNIG Text Sources: Geistliches Blumergärtlein, 1729; trans. The Hymnal, 1940, alt.

Through life and death to you ascend.

King of Glory, King of Peace
Author: George Herbert (1593-1633) Meter: 7.4.7.4 D Appears in 59 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:1-11 Lyrics: 1 King of glory, King of peace,
I will love thee;
and that love may never cease,
I will move thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
thou hast heard me;
thou didst note my working breast,
thou hast spared me.
2 Wherefore with my utmost art
I will sing thee,
and the cream of all my heart
I will bring thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
thou didst clear me;
and alone, when they replied,
thou didst hear me.
3 Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise thee;
in my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise thee.
Small it is, in this poor sort
to enroll thee;
e'en eternity's too short
to extol thee. Topics: Forgiveness; Praise of God; Prayer; Reign of Christ Used With Tune: GWALCHMAI

Before the Throne of God Above
Author: Charitie Lees Bancroft Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:1-11 Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea:
a great High Priest, whose name is Love,
who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on his hands,
my name is hidden in his heart;
I know that while in heaven he stands
no tongue can bid me thence depart,
no tongue can bid me thence depart.
2 When Satan tempts me to despair,
and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look, and see him there
who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Saviour died,
my sinful soul is counted free;
for God, the Just, is satisfied
to look on him and pardon me.
3 Behold him there! the risen Lamb!
my perfect, spotless Righteousness,
the great unchangeable I AM,
the King of glory and of grace!
One with my Lord, I cannot die;
my soul is purchased by his blood;
my life is hid with Christ on high,
with Christ, my Saviour and my God,
with Christ, my Saviour and my God. Topics: Jesus Christ; Sin; Temptation; Trust Used With Tune: BEFORE THE THRONE

Christ Is Alive!
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 First Line: Christ is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching ev'ry place and time.
3 In ev'ry insult, rift, and war,
Where color, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the Life, the Way, the Truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring
good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love, and praise.

God from all eternity!
May your power never fail us;
dwell within us constantly.
Then shall truth and life and light
banish all the gloom of night.
2 Show us, Lord, the path of blessing;
when we trespass on our way,
cast, O Lord, our sins behind you
and be with us day by day.
Should we stray, O Lord, recall;
work repentance when we fall.
3 Spirit, guard our faith forever;
let not Satan, death, or shame
ever part us from our Savior.
Lord, our refuge is your name!
When our hearts oppose your will,
let your Word prove stronger still.
4 And when life's frail thread is breaking,
then assure us more and more,
as the heirs of life unending,
of the glory there in store,
glory never yet expressed,
glory of the saints at rest.

Have no fear, he is near!

soon his call you shall hear.

Till in his presence they shall dwell!

round his throne, for his own,
where they may rest forever in his love,
toil and tears all unknown.
There they shall sing eternal praise
to him who saved them by his grace;
through heaven's courts the song shall swell,
"All is well! all is well!"
