1 God himself is with us: let us now adore him, and with awe appear before him. God is in his temple-- all within keep silence, prostrate lie with deepest rev'rence. Him alone God we own, him, our God and Savior; praise his name forever. 2 God himself is with us: hear the harps resounding! See the crowds the throne surrounding! "Holy, holy, holy"-- hear the hymn ascending, angels, saints, their voices blending! Bow thine ear to us here: hear, O Christ, the praises that thy church now raises. 3 O thou fount of blessing, purify my spirit; trusting only in thy merit, like the holy angels who behold thy glory, may I ceaselessly adore thee, and in all, great and small, seek to do most nearly what thou lovest dearly.
