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 splendor;

Love and honor 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 endeavor.

Thou alone shalt be known

Lord of all our being,

Life’s true way decreeing.
