HYMN 133.

When to the house of God we go,
To hear His praise and sing His love,
We ought to worship Him below
As saints and angels do above.

They stand before His presence now,
And praise Him better far than we,
Who only at His foot-stool bow,
And love Him, though we cannot see.

But God is present ev'rywhere,
And watches all our thoughts and ways,
He marks who humbly join in prayer,
And who sincerely sing His praise.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Him above, ye Heav'nly Host, -
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
