God Himself Is With Us

Verse 1

God himself is present; Let us now adore him And with awe appear before him. God is in his temple; All within keep silence; Humbly kneel in deepest rev'rence. He alone On his throne Is our God and Savior; Praise his name forever!

Verse 2

God himself is present; Hear the harps resounding; See the hosts the throne surrounding, Holy, holy, holy! Hear the hymn ascending, Songs of saints and angels blending. Bow your ear To us here; Hear, O Christ, the praises That your Church now raises.

Verse 3

Fount of ev'ry blessing, Purify my spirit, Trusting only in your merit. Like the holy angels, Worshiping before you, May I ceaselessly adore you. Let your will Ever still Rule your Church terrestrial As the hosts celestial.
