God is in His temple,
Let us fall before Him,

And with reverence adore Him.
Lo! our God is present,
Hushed all earthly feeling,
Every heart to Him be kneeling.
To His own He is known :
Gaze with eye adoring,

Self to God restoring.

Lo! our God is present,
To Whom, morn and even,
Sing the cherubim in heaven.
Holy, holy, holy !

Angel-choirs are singing,

Where the censers bright are swinging.
Lord, give ear: deign to hear
Humbler voices praising,

Songs on earth upraising.

3 Spirit ever present,

In Whom all are living,

To all things their substance giving!
Sea unfathomed, boundless,
Mystery amazing!

Lo! I fall, in wonder gazing,
I in Thee, Thou in me :
Let me thus but find Thee,
Leaving earth behind me.

Make me simple-hearted,
Patient, and enduring,

Safe at rest 'mid earth's alluring.
Lord, renew my spirit,
That in truth's uprightness

I may see Thy glory's brightness.
So let me, up to Thee

As the eagle soaring,

Live but in adoring.

Lord, come, rest within me,
All my sins dispelling;

Make my soul Thy hallowed dwelling.
There Thy glorious presence

O do not deny me,

That I, too, may glorify Thee.
Go or rest, I am blest;
Seeing and believing,
Thy good gifts receiving.

1 O Lord, where'er Thy people meet,
There they behold Thy mercy-seat;
Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found,
And where Thou art is hallowed ground.

2 Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few
Thy former mercies here renew;
And still to wayward hearts proclaim
The sweetness of Thy saving Name.

3 Here may we prove the might of prayer
To strengthen faith and lighten care;
To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heaven before our eyes.

4 Lord, we are weak, but Thou art near,
Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear;
O come with might and mercy down,
And make our cleanséd hearts Thine own. I.

2 Great Shepherd of Thy people, hear! 4 The feeling heart, the melting eye,

Brompton.

1 In Thy peaceful house of prayer,
Stronger faith, O Lord, we seek ;
Here we bring each earthly care,
Thou the strengthening message speak.
In our greatest trials we,

Calm, through Thee, the way have trod :
In the smallest may we feel

Thou art still our Helper-God!

2 Of Thy presence and Thy love
We more steadfast feeling need,
Till the high and holy thought
Hallow every simplest deed.
In our work and in our homes
Christian men we fain would be ;

Learn how daily life affords

Noblest place for serving Thee.
