[Verse 1]
C F C G C
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
F C Am D7 G
Bow down be-fore Him, His glory pro-claim;
C F C G
With gold of obedience, and in-cense of lowli-ness,
C Ab C Am C G7 C
Kneel and a- dore Him; the Lord is His name.
[Verse 2]
C F C G C
Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness;
F C Am D7 G
High on His heart He will bear it for thee,
C F C G
Comfort of obedience, and an-swer thy prayerful-ness,
C Ab C Am C G7 C
Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
[Verse 3]
C F C G C
Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness
F C Am D7 G
Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reck-on as thine.
C F C G
Truth in its beauty and love in its tender-ness,
C Ab C Am C G7 C
These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.
[Verse 4]
C F C G C
These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
F C Am D7 G
He will ac-cept for the name that is dear;
C F C G
Mornings of joy give for eve-nings of tearful-ness,
C Ab C Am C G7 C
Trust for our tremblings, and hope for our fear.
