Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness

lyricist: John Monsell, 1863
Composer: William Sherwin (1826–1888)

Worship the Lord in the beau­ty of ho­li­ness

Bow down be­fore Him

His glo­ry pro­claim;

Gold of obe­di­ence and in­cense of low­li­ness

Bring 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;

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;

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.
