Words: , in G. Daw­son’s Psalms and Hymns, 1846. When Gill re­pub­lished the text in his 1869 Golden Chain, he ac­com­pan­ied it with this quote from Mil­ton:

The pow­er of Thy grace is not passed away with the prim­i­tive times as fond and faith­less men might imag­ine, but Thy king­dom is now at hand, and Thou stand­ing at the door.

Music: Cor­o­n­ation, ; first ap­peared in his Un­ion Har­mo­ny or Un­i­ver­sal Col­lect­ion of Sac­red Mu­sic (Bos­ton, Mas­sa­chu­setts: 1793).

Our God, our God, Thou shinest here,
Thine own this latter day;
To us Thy radiant steps appear,
Here goes Thy glorious way!
To us Thy radiant steps appear,
Here goes Thy glorious way!

We shine not only with the light
Thou sheddest down of yore;
On us Thou streamest strong and bright
Thy comings are not o’er.
On us Thou streamest strong and bright
Thy comings are not o’er.

The fathers had not all of Thee,
New births are in Thy grace;
All open to our souls shall be
Thy glory’s hiding-place.
All open to our souls shall be
Thy glory’s hiding-place.

Thy comest near; Thou standest by;
Our work begins to shine;
Thou dwellest with us mightily—
On come the years divine!
Thou dwellest with us mightily—
On come the years divine!
