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
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 off’rings 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
