Made nigh by Christ’s own pre¤cious blood,
We dare ap¤proach the throne of grace;
Our hearts ac¤knowl¤edge God is here,
And hum¤bly bow be¤fore His face.

Chorus:
Our God is here, the liv¤ing God,
In heart¤felt praise we hum¤bly bow,
The Lord of Hosts is on our side
We will not be de¤feat¤ed now.

Chorus 2:
Our God is here, the liv¤ing God,
heart¤felt praise we hum¤bly bow,
The Lord of Hosts is on our side
We will not be de¤feat¤ed now.

Oh, let Thy sa¤cred fire de¤scend,
Purge and con¤sume all earth¤ly dross;
Give wis¤dom dai¤ly how to build,
Lest we sus¤tain e¤ter¤nal loss.

Lord, arm us with the mind of Christ,
That suf¤f’ring, we may cease from sin;
Cleanse now Thy tem¤ple, we im¤plore;
In all Thy ful¤ness dwell with¤in.

Oh, may our prayers like in¤cense rise,
A con¤stant flame con¤tin¤ual¤ly;
Of deep de¤sire be¤fore Thy throne,
That we con¤formed to Christ may be.

Thy life and right¤eous¤ness im¤part,
A¤noint our eyes, lest, grow¤ing dim,
We fail to choose af¤flic¤tion now,
That we may be joint heirs with Him.
