God Reveals His Presence

God reveals his presence: 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 for ever.

God reveals his presence: hear the harps resounding! See the hosts 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 Font of blessing, purify my spirit, trusting only in thy merit. Like the holy angels who behold thy glory, may I ceaselessly adore thee. Let thy will ever still rule thy Church terrestrial, as the hosts celestial.

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.
