O Worship the Lord

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 offerings 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.
