Extended content
1 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 this 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.
3 Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
These are the offerings we lay on his shrine;
These, tho' we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
He will accept in the Name all divine.
Amen.

Responses

Leader: Honor and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Assembly: I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
Leader: O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
Assembly: For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. (Seated)
