Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-1875 Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 146 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 29:2 Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down in reverence, God's glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
bring now, adoring the Lord's holy name.
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness;
high on his heart Jesus bears it for thee,
comforts thy sorrows and answers thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter God's 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,
God 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 in reverence, God's glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
bring now, adoring the Lord's holy name. Topics: Church Year Epiphany; God Glory of; Holy / Holiness; Offering; Worship Used With Tune: MORDUN
