For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,

whose name is Holy;

I dwell in the high and holy place,

with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit,

to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

(Isaiah 57.15)

 

God is in His temple, the Almighty Father,

Round His footstool let us gather

Him with adoration serve the Lord Most Holy!

Who has mercy on the lowly,

Let us raise hymns of praise

For His great salvation

God is in His temple.

Christ comes to His temple,

We His word receiving are made happy in believing

Lo from sin delivered,

He has changed our sadness,

Our deep gloom,

To joy and gladness.

Let us raise hymns of praise

For our bonds are severed,

Christ comes to His temple.

Come and claim Thy temple,

Gracious Holy Spirit,

In our hearts Thy home inherit,

Fix in us Thy dwelling,

Thy high work fulfilling,

Into ours Thy will instilling.

Till we raise hymns of praise

Beyond mortal telling

In the Eternal Temple.
