God is in his holy temple,

All the earth keep silence here;

Worship him in truth and spirit,

Reverence him with godly fear;

Holy, holy,

Lord of hosts, our Lord, appear.

2 God in Christ reveals his presence,

Throned upon the mercy-seat:

Saints, rejoice! and sinners, tremble!

Each prepare his God to meet:

Lowly, lowly,

Bow adoring at his feet.

3 Hail him here with songs of praises,

Him with prayers of faith surround;

Hearken to his glorious gospel,

While the preacher’s lips expound;

Blesséd, blesséd,

They who know the joyful sound.

4 Though the heaven, and heaven of heavens,

O thou Great Unsearchable!

Are too mean to comprehend thee,

Thou with man art pleased to dwell;

Welcome, welcome,

God with us, Immanuel.
