4. God Himself Is with Us

1 God Himself is with us:
Let us now adore Him,
And with awe appear before Him.
God is in His temple,
All within keep silence,
And before Him bow with reverence.
Him alone,
God we own;
To our Lord and Savior
Praises sing forever.

2 God Himself is with us:
Whom angelic legions
Serve with awe in heavenly regions.
"Holy, Holy, Holy,"
Sing the hosts of heaven,
Praise to God be ever given.
Bow Thine ear
To us here;
Hear, O Christ, the praises
That Thy Church now raises.

3 Lord, come dwell within us,
While on earth we tarry,
Make us Thy blest sanctuary,
Grant us now Thy presence,
Unto us draw nearer,
And reveal Thyself still clearer.
Where we are,
Near or far,
Let us see Thy power,
Every day and hour.

Amen.

1 Gott ist gegenwärtig! Lasset uns anbeten
Und in Ehrfurcht vor ihn treten.
Gott ist in der Mitte! Alles in uns schweige
Und sich innigst vor ihm beuge.
Wer ihn kennt,
Wer ihn nennt:
Schlag die Augen nieder;
Kommt, ergebt euch wieder!

2 Mache mich einfältig, Innig, abgeschieden,
Sanft und still in deinem Frieden;
Mach mich reines Herzens, Dass ich deine Klarheit
Schauen mag im Geist und Wahrheit!
Lass mein Herz
Überwärts
Wie ein Adler schweben,
Und in dir nur leben.
