LO! God is here! let us adore, And own how holy is this place! Let all within us feel His power, And silent bow before His face; To know His power, His grace to prove, Praise Him with awe and reverent love. |

2 | Lo! God is here! Whom day and night The united choirs of angels sing: To Him, enthroned above all height, Heaven’s hosts their noblest praises bring: Disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, Who praise Thee with a stammering tongue! |
||
3 | Being of beings, may our praise Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill; Still may we stand before Thy face, Still hear and do Thy sovereign will: To Thee may all our thoughts arise, Ceaseless, accepted sacrifice. |
