1. God himself is with us;
let us all adore him,
and with awe appear before him.
God is here within us;
souls, in silence fear him,
humbly, fervently draw near him.
Now his own who have known
God, in worship lowly,
yield their spirits wholly.
2. Gladly, Lord, we offer
thine to be forever,
soul and life and each endeavor.
Help us to surrender
earth’s deceitful treasures,
pride of life, and sinful pleasures:
thou alone shalt be known
Lord of all our being,
life’s true way decreeing.
3. Thou pervadest all things;
let thy radiant beauty
light mine eyes to see my duty.
As the tender flowers
eagerly unfold them,
to the sunlight calmly hold them,
so let me quietly
in thy rays imbue me;
let thy light shine through me.
4. Come, abide within me;
let my soul, like Mary,
be thine earthly sanctuary.
Come, indwelling Spirit,
with transfiguring splendor;
love and honor will I render.
Where I go here below,
let me bow before thee,
know thee, and adore thee.
