God Is in His Temple

lyricist: William Matson (1833–1899)
Composer: Joachim Neander (1650–1680)

God is in His tem­ple

The al­migh­ty Fa­ther!

Round His foot­stool let us ga­ther;

Him with ad­or­ation

Serve the Lord most ho­ly

Who hath mer­cy on the low­ly.

Let us raise hymns of praise

For His great sal­va­tion;

God is in His tem­ple!

Christ comes to His tem­ple;

We

His Word re­ceiv­ing

Are made hap­py in be­liev­ing.

Lo! from sin de­liv­ered

He hath turned our sad­ness

Our deep gloom to light and glad­ness!

Let us raise hymns of praise

For our bonds are sev­ered;

Christ comes to His tem­ple!

Come and claim Thy tem­ple

Gracious Holy Spir­it!

In our hearts Thy home in­her­it;

Make in us Thy dwell­ing

Thy high work ful­fill­ing

Into ours Thy will in­still­ing;

Till we raise hymns of praise

Beyond mor­tal tell­ing

In the eter­nal tem­ple!
