Lyics

GOD is in His holy temple,

All the earth keep silence here,

Worship Him in truth and spirit,

Rev'rence Him with godly fear;

Holy, holy,

Lord of hosts, our Lord, appear.



God in Christ reveals His presence,

Thron'd upon the mercy-seat;

Saints, rejoice! and sinners, tremble!

Each prepare His God to meet;

Lowly, lowly,

Bow adoring at His feet.



Hail Him here with songs of praises,

Him with pray'rs of faith surround;

Hearken to His glorious gospel,

While the preacher's lips expound;

Blessed, blessed,

They who know the joyful sound.
