God Himself Is with Us (Tersteegen)

God Him­self is with us:

Let us now ad­ore Him

And with awe ap­pear be­fore Him.

God is in His tem­ple

All with­in keep si­lence

Prostrate lie with deep­est rev­er­ence.

Him alone God we own

Him our God and Sav­ior;

Praise His name for­ev­er.

God Him­self is with us:

Hear the harps re­sound­ing!

See the crowds the throne sur­round­ing!

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly

Hear the hymn as­cend­ing

Angels

saints

their voic­es blend­ing!

Bow Thine ear to us here:

Hear

O Christ

the prais­es

That Thy church now rais­es.

O Thou fount of bless­ing

Purify my spir­it;

Trusting on­ly in Thy mer­it

Like the ho­ly an­gels

Who be­hold Thy glo­ry

May I cease­less­ly ad­ore Thee

And in all

great and small

Seek to do most near­ly

What Thou lov­est dear­ly.
