O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

by JOHN SAMUEL BEWLEYMONSELL, 1811-75.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
"Worship the Lord in the beauty of his holiness" I Cor. 16:29
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 sorrow, 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 offerings to lay on His
shine.
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. Amen
