God Reveals His Presence

lyricist: Gerhard Teerstegen, 1729
Composer: Joachim Neander (1650–1680)

God re­veals His pre­sence

Let us now ad­ore Him

And with awe ap­pear be­fore Him.

God is in His tem­ple

All in us keep si­lence

And be­fore Him bow with rev­er­ence.

Him alone

God we own

He’s our Lord and Sav­ior;

Praise His name for­ev­er.

God re­veals His pre­sence

Whom an­gel­ic le­gions

Serve with awe in heav’n­ly re­gions:

Holy

Ho­ly

Ho­ly

Sing the hosts of Heav­en

Praise to God be ev­er giv­en:

Condescend to at­tend

Graciously

O Je­sus;

To our songs and prais­es.

O ma­jes­tic Be­ing

Were our soul and bo­dy

Thee to serve at all times rea­dy;

Might we

like the an­gels

Who be­hold Thy glo­ry

In sub­mis­sion sink be­fore Thee;

And through grace all our days

In our whole de­mea­nor

Give Thee praise and hon­or!

Lord

come dwell with­in us

While on earth we tar­ry

Make us Thy blest sanc­tu­ary.

O vouch­safe Thy pre­sence

Draw un­to us near­er

And re­veal Thy­self still clear­er;

Us di­rect and pro­tect

Thus we in all plac­es

Shall show forth Thy prais­es.
