| 1. 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.
2. Low at His feet lay thy
burden of carefulness,
High in His heart He will bear it for thee,
Comfort thy sorrows,
and answer thy prayerfulness,
Guiding thy steps
as may best for thee be.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
