Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 148 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 96 Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name. 2 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. 3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine; truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness, these are the offerings to lay on his shrine. 4 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. 5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness bring, and adore him; the Lord is his name!

Sweet music fills the world abroad With strains of love and power; The stormy sea sings praise to God, The thunder and the shower. 2 To God the tribes of ocean cry, And birds upon the wing; To God the powers that dwell on high Their tuneful tribute bring. Like them, let man the throne surround, With them loud chorus raise, While instruments of loftier sound Assist his feeble praise. 3 Great God, to Thee we consecrate Our voices and our skill; We bid the pealing organ wait To speak alone Thy will. Lord, while the music round us floats May earth-born passions die; O grant its rich and swelling notes May lift our souls on high! Amen.
