Lo, God Is Here!
VERSE 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.
VERSE 2
Lo, God
is here! Whom day and night
United
choirs of angels sing;
To Him,
enthroned above all height,
The
hosts of Heaven their praises bring.
VERSE 3
Gladly
the toys of earth we leave,
Wealth,
pleasure, fame, for Thee alone;
To Thee
our will, soul, flesh, we give,
O take,
O seal them for Thine own!
VERSE 4
Disdain,
not, Lord, our meaner song,
Who
praise Thee with a faltering tongue.
To Thee
may all our thoughts arise
A true
and ceaseless sacrifice.
VERSE 5
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.
VERSE 6
In Thee
we move. All things of Thee
Are
full, Thou Source and Life of all;
Thou
vast unfathomable sea!
Fall
prostrate, lost in wonder fall.
VERSE 7
As
flowers their opening leaves display,
And glad
drink in the solar fire,
So may
we catch Thine every ray,
And thus
Thy influence inspire.
