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; Who know His power, His grace who prove, Serve Him with awe, with reverence love.

Verse 2

Lo, God is here! Him day and night The united choirs of angels sing; To Him, enthroned above all height, Heaven’s host their noblest praises bring: Disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, Who praise Thee with a stammering tongue.

Verse 3

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; To Thee may all our thoughts arise, Ceaseless, accepted sacrifice.

Verse 4

As flower their opening leaves display, And glad drink in the solar fire, So may Thy influence us inspire; Thou Beam of the eternal Beam, Thou purging Fire, Thou quickening Flame. Amen.
