God Himself Is Present
Frederick William Foster / Gerhardt Tersteegen / Joachim Neander 

God Himself is present  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

God Himself is present  Hear the harps resounding
See the hosts the throne surrounding
Holy holy holy  Hear the hymn ascending
Songs of saints and angels blending
Bow Thine ear to us here
Hear O Christ the praises  That Thy Church now raises
			
Light of light eternal  All things penetrating
For Your rays our soul is waiting
As the tender flowers  Willingly unfolding
To the sun their faces holding
Even so would we do
Light from You obtaining  Strength to serve You gaining

Come celestial Being  Make our hearts Your dwelling
Ev'ry carnal thought dispelling
By Your Holy Spirit  Sanctify us truly
Teaching us to love You only
Where we go here below
Let us bow before You  And in truth adore You
