Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #103 (2013) Meter: 13.10.13.10 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
with gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,
kneel and adore him: the Lord is his name.
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness:
high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine:
truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on his shrine.
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 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
with gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,
kneel and adore him: the Lord is his name. Topics: Adoration; Church Worship; Church Year Epiphany; Epiphany; Epiphany; Holiness; Humility; Obedience; Proper 4 Year C; Gathering Scripture: Psalm 29:2 Languages: English Tune Title: WAS LEBET
