God Himself Is With Us
God Himself is with us; Let us all adore Him,
And with awe appear before Him.
God is here within us;
Soul, in silence fear Him,Humbly,
fervently draw near Him.
Now His own who have known God,
in worship lowly,Yield their spirits wholly.
Come, abide within me;
Let my soul, like Mary,
Be thine earthly sanctuary,
Come, in-dwelling Spirit,
With transfigured splendour;
Love and honour will I render.
Where I go here below,
Let me bow before Thee,
Know Thee and adore Thee.
Gladly we surrender
Earth's deceitful treasures,
Pride of Life, and sinful pleasures:
Gladly, Lord, we offer Thine to be forever,
Soul and life and each endeavour.
Thou alone shalt be known
Lord of all our being,
Life's true way declaring.
