3   God Himself Is With Us




[1]
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.

[2]
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.

[3]
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.
