Sheet music
- 1God Himself is with usLet us now adore Him,And with awe appear before Him.God is in His temple,All within keep silence,And before Him bow with reverence,Him alone, God we own;To our Lord and SaviorPraises sing forever.
- 2God Himself is with us;Whom angelic legionsServe with awe in heav’nly regions.“Holy, Holy, Holy,”Sing the hosts of heaven,Praise to God be ever given.Bow Thine ear To us here;Hear, O Christ, the praisesThat Thy church now raises.
- 3O Thou fount of blessing,Purify my spirit;Trusting only in Thy merit,Like the holy angelsWho behold Thy glory,May I ceaselessly adore Thee,And in all, Great and small,Seek to do most nearlyWhat Thou lovest dearly.
