O Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness

O wor­ship the Lord

In the beau­ty of ho­li­ness!

Bow down be­fore Him

His glo­ry pro­claim;

With gold of obe­di­ence

And in­cense of low­li­ness

Kneel and ad­ore Him: the Lord is His name!

Low at His feet lay

Thy bur­den of care­ful­ness

High on His heart He will bear it for thee

And com­fort thy sor­rows

And an­swer thy pray­er­ful­ness

Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

Fear not to en­ter

His courts in the slen­der­ness

Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine;

For truth in its beau­ty

And love in its ten­der­ness

These are the of­fer­ings to lay on His shrine.

These

though we bring them

In trem­bling and fear­ful­ness

He will ac­cept for the name that is dear;

Mornings of joy give

For ev­en­ings of tear­ful­ness

Trust for our trem­bling and hope for our fear.

O wor­ship the Lord

In the beau­ty of ho­li­ness!

Bow down be­fore Him

His glo­ry pro­claim;

With gold of obe­di­ence

And in­cense of low­li­ness

Kneel and adore Him: the Lord is His name!
