Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;

Gold of obedience and incense of lowliness

Bring, and adore Him, the Lord is his Name!

High on His heart He will bear it for thee,

Comfort thy sorrows and answer thy prayerfulness,

Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

Of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;

Truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness,

These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.

He will accept for the Name that is dear,

Mornings of joy give for evenings of of tearfulness,

Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

   Of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
