God is in His holy temple

James Montgomery • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 11:4

Verse 1

God is in His holy temple, All the earth keep silence here; Worship Him in truth and spirit, Reverence Him with godly fear; Holy, holy, Lord of Hosts, our Lord, appear.

Verse 2

God in Christ reveals His presence, Throned upon the Mercy-seat: Saints, rejoice! and sinners, tremble! Each prepare his God to meet: Lowly, lowly, Bow adoring at His feet.

Verse 3

Hail Him here with songs of praises, Him with prayers of faith surround; Hearken to His glorious gospel, While the preacher's lips expound; Blesséd, blesséd, They who know the joyful sound.

Verse 4

Though the heaven, and heaven of heavens, O Thou Great Unsearchable! Are too mean to comprehend Thee, Thou with man art pleased to dwell; Welcome, welcome, God with us, Immanuel.
