God is in his temple
God is in his temple. William Tidd Matson* (1833-1899).
Matson’s poem was published in his Lays of Laud, Life & Litany (1891), and in his Poetical Works (1894), with the date 1872. It was printed in Supplemental Hymns (1868), edited by Henry Allon*. It has remained popular in Baptist, Methodist and Congregationalist/URC books. It was written to fit the tune GRONINGEN, ascribed to Joachim Neander*:
God is in his temple, The Almighty Father;Round his footstool let us gather: Him with adoration Serve, the Lord most holy,Who hath mercy on the lowly; Let us raise Hymns of praise, For his great salvation: God is in his temple.
The hymn has a strong resemblance to the German hymn...
