When before thy throne we kneel,
Filled with awe and holy fear,
Teach us, O our God, to feel
All thy sacred presence near.
Check each proud and wandering thought
When on thy great name we call;
Man is nought, is less than nought;
Thou, our God, art all in all.
Weak, imperfect creatures, we
In this vale of darkness dwell,
Yet presume to look to thee
‘Midst thy light ineffable.
O receive the praise that dares
Seek thy heaven-exalted throne,
Bless our offerings, hear our prayers,
Infinite and Holy One!
