God himself is with us by Anonymous — Lyrics
God himself is with us;
let us all adore him,
and with awe appear before him.
God is here within us;
souls in silence fear him,
humbly, fervently draw near him.
Now his own who have known
God, in worship lowly,
yield their spirits wholly.
Gladly, Lord, we offer
thine to be for ever,
soul and life and each endeavor.
Help us to surrender
earth’s deceitful treasures,
pride of life, and sinful pleasures:
thou alone shalt be known
Lord of all our being,
life’s true way decreeing.

About God himself is with us
This anonymous hymn offers a profound meditation on the divine presence. Suitable for services focusing on adoration and spiritual devotion, it calls for singers to approach God with awe and humility. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic expression as the choir explores themes of surrender and commitment. The English text eloquently expresses a desire to shed earthly vanities and dedicate one's entire being to God's guidance. It's a piece that encourages quiet contemplation and a deep, personal connection with the sacred, making it an ideal choice for moments of intense spiritual reflection within a liturgical setting. The music would likely reflect the text's earnest and reverent tone.
